Sponsorships and Exhibitors

The North Carolina Head Start Association (NCHSA) invites you to submit an application for sponsorship for our fall conference. Becoming a corporate sponsor shows a vested interest in NCHSA and our member programs. As a corporate sponsor, your company is doing more than establishing or strengthening its connection to our member network, but you’re also joining a community of professionals, parents and partners dedicated to making a difference.

The sponsorship year is valid from February November of each year. Our corporate sponsorship program is a powerful tool to expand and strengthen customer service networks to support quality, advocacy, and professional development. These areas are key to enhancing our programs each day.
