Platinum Package Registration Opens For All Members On Monday

Just a reminder that Monday at 8am (PST) begins the first day of open registration for the Platinum level sponsorship package for 2009.  Being a Platinum Package Sponsor with OHCA has many benefits! In addition to the general package benefits (PDF), the Platinum package level of sponsorship is unique because it also includes:

Annual Convention Benefits

  • Black & White Tab ad placement for first 20 Platinum sponsors registered by November 1, 2008

OHCA Board of Directors Planning Retreat Sponsorship
The Annual Board of Directors Planning Retreat is an EXCLUSIVE event limited to Platinum Package sponsors. In sponsoring this event up to 2 representatives from each Platinum Sponsor company will be invited to attend the 2 ½ day event which includes: dinner, evening social events with the Board, and 2-3 minute exclusive self-introduction during sponsor luncheon!

Additional Benefits

  • Be included in scrolling banner on OHCA's home page with a web link (60,000+ views a year)

  • Opportunity to register for 2009 sponsorship selections before any other package registrations become available and first right of refusal opportunity for the following year's registration.

  • Member Exclusivity - this package is only available to non-competing sponsors, so if your company completes registration first, your direct competitors WILL NOT be able to register for this package in 2009.

New Options For Product/Service Categories

I had sent out a communication back in July asking for input and suggestions on the current Product/Service options available for OHCA business member listings.  This category type defines how your business is listed in OHCA’s online directory, in future printings of the OHCA Annual Buyer’s Guide & Directory, as well as your eligibility for the Platinum Package sponsorship opportunity.  Thanks to the information I received we have now been able to update our Product/Service Categories to be a better reflection of OHCA’s current business partner members. 

Currently  MERGEFIELD Company Advanced Lifeline Services category is: Rehab/Therapy Services

Click here to see a full list of business member categories:  www.ohca.com/member_directory.htm.  If you believe Advanced Lifeline Services would be better fit in one of the other categories please contact Carol Grebin at cgrebin@ohca.com and she can update your records in our database (you can also make changes to your account by logging in online).  Unfortunately at this time we are not able to do multiple category listings, so choose the best one for your business and utilize the description field to clarify further on your products/services.

Save The Date for Next Month’s Business Partner Committee Meeting

The next quarterly committee meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 13, 2008 from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm. 

Location to be determined. 

Proposed Agenda:

  • Roundtable Introductions

  • Introduction to New Directory Advertising Opportunities

  • Ideas for Networking/Marketing Through the Holiday Season

  • 2009 Event Overview

If you have suggestions of topics/information you’d like to see on an upcoming agenda please email jillb@ohca.com.
