3 Dear Potential Sponsor, One major way America s Warrior Partnership achieves its objective of empowering communities to empower veterans is with our annual Warrior Community Integration Symposium. This national event sets the tone for the year, bringing together players from all sectors involved with veterans issues. It provides three days of high intensity training, volumes of information, vast networking opportunities, and an unparalleled opportunity for sponsors to reach deep into the veteran space. All this is designed to link together the resources our veterans need at the community level to succeed in their new lives as civilians, regardless of the challenges they may face. We believe they have earned our respect as well as their benefits. Our goal, our mission, is to facilitate collaboration, find solutions, identify new resources, and ensure our veterans enjoy the highest quality of life possible following service. Such a mission requires effort, sacrifice, and leadership. We are asking you to join us in this successful event. We believe that your participation will not only benefit our veterans, but also you. Join us as we gather next September 5-7. We are confident your sponsorship will bring significant return on your investment and meaningful change to veterans across the country. For your customized sponsorship package, please contact Lori Noonan at or Lnoonan@americaswarriorpartnership.org. Thank you. Best regards, Jim Lorraine President and CEO 01 2

4 WARRIOR COMMUNITY INTEGRATION SYMPOSIUM The Symposium is an industry-leading event that brings together hundreds of veteran-serving professionals from across the nation to connect with new resources, educate on trends and solutions using best practices, advocate effectively, and collaborate for future partnerships. America s Warrior Partnership continues to be a fantastic organization with great sponsors and advocates based on the many conversations I had all week with the national and local organizations that attended (the who s who). Military Affairs Team, Bank of America It was a powerful convening and the America s Warrior Partnership team did a terrific job of planning and executing the event. We look forward to the continued improvement of community-based programming around the country. Corporate Responsibility Team, USAA 01 3
