Corporate Sponsorship
We invite you to become a corporate partner of W&M Women’s Weekend, open to all, with programming focused on celebrating and empowering W&M women. The weekend offers three days of engaging speakers, networking opportunities, community service and just plain fun, bringing together alumni, faculty, staff, community members and more. Our goal is to deliver an incredible gathering from the opening on Friday evening with our keynote speaker to the close on Sunday featuring Mary Talks (our version of TEDx talks given by W&M women).
Interested in sponsoring the weekend? Contact Val Cushman at vjcushman@wm.edu.
Our Pitch
W&M Women’s Weekend attracts a wide range of W&M women, offering opportunities for intergenerational and intersectional networking. In 2022, the Weekend attracted eight decades of W&M women from current students to highly accomplished retirees.
Investment by corporate partners offsets weekend costs, including that of the keynote speaker, providing the opportunity to offer free registration for W&M students and alumni in need of financial assistance and to engage other paid program providers. All partners will receive recognition on print and digital materials. Partner representatives are invited to attend the weekend and have the opportunity to meet and network with attendees. Platinum sponsors are invited to the Society of 1918 Gala on Sept. 11, an event which invites over 650 members of this philanthropic giving community, and will have the opportunity to speak at the podium during the event.
