“I am a recent “Supporter” of ICAISA; attending my first event this September 2024. I was very impressed with ICAISA’s willingness to work with us to find a sponsorship package that worked for Pentegra. Also, at the event Bonnie went out of her way to ensure Penterga was prominently positioned during the event and introduced us to key members. I’m looking forward to our next ICAISA event.”

Without a doubt, ICAISA is our most important sponsorship engagement each year. We seek far more than simply access to a sales pipeline. We want to be a part of thoughtful conversations with internationally respected association leaders about industry-wide issues and challenges. These interactions allow us to listen, to learn, and to identify emerging market needs and opportunities. We come to ICAISA not to accelerate new sales but rather to improve our services. Working with Bonnie, the executive director, has been a true delight, for she has taken the time to learn about our business, develop a customized sponsorship package, and identify exactly the right events and sequences for us to engage with the ICAISA community of executive directors. We look forward to building on this partnership for years to come.
