Corporate Sponsorship Levels
Partnering with ITSMF affords leading corporations vital support for diversity initiatives; exclusive resources for employee growth, development, and sponsorship; and considerable exposure to the best and brightest executives in information technology.
Corporate partners also form strategic alliances with ITSMF on specific initiatives. For example, with Global Lead Management Consulting and Johnson & Johnson, ITSMF developed a comprehensive guide on African-American IT recruitment, retention, and advancement. Identifying the critical issues, challenges, and successes of CIO-bound African-Americans, the guide offers valuable insight.
Being a corporate partner delivers:
- Strategic guidance and authoritative resources for building diverse leadership teams
- Tools for accelerating the development of mid-level managers through mentoring and education
- Ready access to highly qualified minority talent for executive positions
- Opportunities for speaking engagements, event sponsorship, and for sharing thought leadership
- Exposure to the multi-million dollar buying power of member companies, over 60 percent of which are in the Fortune 500
