 Your Sponsorship
CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The work of the Centre for Responsible Leadership would not be possible without the active support and involvement
of our corporate sponsors. There are many ways for you and your organization to become involved.
• Send representatives, speakers and panelists to our events.
• Undertake programs or projects with our students.
• Identify opportunities and/or partners for our community.
• Provide financial support for our important initiatives.

Participation and support of the Centre provides our corporate partners with the opportunity to address our students
using a “different voice” that can enhance corporate reputation and recruiting initiatives.
As our programs continue to grow, so too does the need for corporate sponsorship and engagement.
We currently have many proposed projects that can be tailored to your needs.
