Re: 2011 Sponsorship Program for the Canadian Institute of Underwriters

Dear Friends,

The generous companies who became GOLD or PLATINUM level donors in 2010 wrote one cheque to become sponsors of all the valuable programs run by the CIU, including the annual conference in the late Spring, the education event in the Fall, and the annual education seminar early in the following year.

Most of you gave us feedback that you like the ease with which you can contribute to the CIU an annual donation that supports all of the CIU programs throughout the year - so we’re doing it again!

Membership does have its rewards, and by becoming a donor member in 2011, your company will receive the following benefits:

PLATINUM Sponsorship Level
A one-time annual donation of $1,500 (CDN or US) includes:

GOLD Sponsorship Level
A one-time annual donation of $1,000 (CDN or US) includes:

Once you have chosen your desired sponsorship level, please note on your cheque “RE: SPONSORSHIP” - make it payable to Canadian Institute of Underwriters, and forward to Marian Kingsmill, DKCI Events, P.O. Box 91516 - Roseland Postal Outlet, 3023 New Street, Burlington, ON, L7R 4L6, by March 1st, 2011. Please confirm your sponsorship in an e-mail to us – marian@dkci.ca

Some of you have already sent in their 2011 Sponsorship cheques and to those early supporters - we thank you! Smaller cash donations will be gratefully received, but will not receive the event and/or web recognition noted above. We will also welcome door prizes from your company for appropriate individual events, and those will be acknowledged at the events.

Sponsorship does not include membership fees in the CIU – these are processed separately. You will be pleased to note that the CIU is holding the line on membership fees, keeping them at $110 per member for the calendar year.

Through the CIU, your organization’s brand is reaching out to 800 insurance and financial services professionals. We are very grateful to our 2010 sponsors for their financial contributions, which helped to ensure the continuing high quality of all of the CIU’s meetings and programs. We look forward to welcoming you as one of the CIU’s 2011 sponsorship team!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any member of the CIU 2011 Executive.

Yours truly,

Peter Speers, FLMI, AALU
