Becoming A Sponsor
2016 Iowa InfraGard Chapter Sponsorship Guidelines
About InfraGard. From drinking water supplies to communications systems, chemical production processes to agricultural resources, Americans depend on a select group of critical infrastructures to sustain our way of life. Any attempts to harm or destroy these resources would directly impact the security of the United States and its citizens. Most of these systems and services are owned and operated by private industry. Therefore, the protection of our nation’s infrastructure cannot be accomplished by the federal government alone. It requires coordinated action from numerous stakeholders – including government, the private sector, law enforcement and concerned citizens. InfraGard is the critical link that forms a tightly-knit working relationship across all levels. Each InfraGard chapter is geographically linked with an FBI Field Office, providing all stakeholders immediate access to experts from law enforcement,industry, academic institutions and other federal, state and local government agencies. By utilizing thetalents and expertise of the InfraGard network, information is shared to mitigate threats to our nation’s critical infrastructures and key resources.
Collaboration and communication are the keys to protection. Providing timely and accurate information to those responsible for safeguarding our critical infrastructures, even at a local level, is paramount in the fight to protect the United States and its resources.
Our Chapter Sponsorship Program
The Iowa InfraGard Chapter offers three levels of chapter sponsorships: Gold, Silver, Bronze. These levels correspond to the increasing amounts of marketing exposure that the sponsor will have to our members. Gold sponsors are considered high-exposure hosts
of all monthly meetings. Silver sponsors are lower-exposure hosts of one meeting per quarter. Bronze sponsors are co-hosts of a single, monthly meeting program.
Sponsors may not give a full presentation at a meeting where they are promoted as a sponsor to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest. Sponsorships are not exclusive, except for the Gold Chapter Sponsor.
