Symposium Sponsorships

What it means to be an AWESOME Symposium Sponsor

In a little more than three years, AWESOME has become the most active and most high-profile non-profit organization focused on connecting, engaging, and advancing women leaders in supply chain. With a network of senior executives that now numbers more than 700, we are holding our fourth annual Symposium on April 27-29, 2016, hosted by NIKE, Inc. in Portland, Oregon.

Following last year’s success, we are again offering a limited number of sponsorships to companies who share AWESOME’s commitment to developing diverse talent and advancing women’s leadership.

Guiding Principle for Sponsorships:

Relationships with sponsor companies will be based on our shared values and common goals. We have created sponsorship opportunities that provide meaningful participation and demonstrate genuine commitment.
