INTERNATIONAL FOOD SERVICE EXECUTIVES ASSOCIATION

Sponsorships Benefit Your Company, Foodservice Students, and U.S. Military

Dear Sponsor,

Congratulations on your commitment toU.S. Armed Forces Foodservice Programs, Foodservice & Hospitality Student Programs, and the International Food Service Executives Association (IFSEA).

Your sponsorship for the 2010 IFSEA Conference & Trade Show in Reno, Nevada on April 15-18, 2010, goes directly to furthering the education and food programs of the U.S. Military, Students, and IFSEA.

In return, your company receives much more than a banner posted at a desk. You have the opportunity to market your company directly to your prospects including professionals, buyers, and students within the foodservice industry and U.S. Military.

Recent studies reveal: Donating to a Non-Profit Increases Your Profits

A 2008 Cone/Duke University Behavioral Case Study finds, 85% of Americans will reward a company or product if it is tied to a cause or non-profit organization. 80% of those surveyed said promoting education and economic development are the leading issues. As a sponsor, your company can position itself to customers as a contributor of Foodservice Students, IFSEA and the U.S. Military.

IFSEA is a professional organization with members world-wide from the food service and hospitality industry. Its mission is to enhance the careers of its members and prepare members of the U.S. Military for careers following their duty. This is accomplished through:

  • International Conferences offering Educational Seminars
  • Culinary Competitions
  • Food Service Excellence Awards
  • Student Programs, and much more

IFSEA has been a proud partner of the U.S. Military for more than 50 years

IFSEA assists the joint services of the Army, Navy, and Military Sealift Command by providing evaluations of Military food service programs, educational food classes, culinary competitions, and the Military Awards for Culinary Excellence.

We thank you for your support in making the 2010 IFSEA Conference & Trade successful,

Patrick Beach

Chairman of the Board, IFSEA
