Dear Potential Corporate Sponsors,
The Ohio Celebration of Women in Computing (OCWIC) will be held February 16-17, 2007 at the Deer Creek Resort and Conference Center, located near Mt. Sterling, Ohio. OCWIC is a regional conference modeled after the international Grace Hopper Celebration of women in computing. Attendees will be women majoring in computing fields and enrolled in universities and colleges from all over Ohio. After a very successful OCWIC 2005 held at Deer Creek, the organizing committee anticipates an even bigger and better event and is planning for approximately 150 students, faculty and industry representatives to attend. Based on OCWIC 2005, the organizing committee is estimating a cost at $150.00 per attendee 2007 OCWIC. This cost includes conference registration and materials, meals, and lodging. We are seeking corporate sponsors to help cover as much of this cost as possible so that students are able to attend this conference through the generosity of scholarships provided by our corporate sponsors. As an OCWIC corporate sponsor, you have several levels of sponsorship available as shown in the Corporate Sponsors Levels with Benefits table: Platinum ($2500), Gold ($2000), Silver ($1500), Bronze ($1000) and Affiliate ($500). Example benefits include conference registration for company representatives, recognition of your company´s logo in the conference program and web site, and the opportunity to have a corporate speaker at a plenary session. We are confident that OCWIC 2007 can continue the success of OCWIC 2005 by inspiring and motivating young women to pursue careers in computing, fostering connections among the Ohio universities and colleges, creating networking and mentoring opportunities, and helping attendees to pursue their career goals by introducing them to successful women leaders from both industry and academia. With your support and commitment, OCWIC 2007 can be the experience that makes a difference in a young women´s life by providing her with the information and encouragement needed to make her career goals in computing a reality. Please review the Corporate Sponsors table and consider becoming an OCWIC sponsor. Note the two sponsor commit deadlines of Oct. 22 and Dec. 1. If you do decide to become a sponsor, you can make a check out to "The Ohio State University OCWIC" and mail it to Bettina BairIf you have any suggestions, please contact me or any member of the organizing committee. Sincerely, Dr. Valerie V. Cross, Associate Professor Computer Science and Systems Analysis Department Miami University, Oxford, OH 45066 Phone: 513-529-9748 email: crossv@muohio.edu |
