ISS Sector Report 5.16.23
Executive Meeting held on 4/14/23 Recap:
Summary During the meeting, the question was asked whether business partners were getting the resources they wanted, and co-chairing sectors was discussed as an option. Directors Day and its proposal will be moved to the 2024-25 cycle. The idea of moving Spring Training to a different time of year was raised, but it was decided that it will remain in March. The Spring Training Chair position is open, and there are three potential locations for the 2024 event: Blair County Community Center, Lancaster Convention Center, and the David Lawrence Convention Center. Finally, the Executive Council asked if any business partners would be interested in providing resources for students and families, as some information on the PASFAA site might be outdated.
F&D Update:
Thanks to those who participated in the recent business partner sponsorships survey and will be gathering additional feedback soon. Heads Up, an announcement will be made later in May about the 2023-24 sponsorship opportunities. Watch your email and pasfaa.org in June, and signups for the 2023-24 year will open on or shortly after July 1st (the start of the new fiscal year). Additionally, preliminary details about the 2024-25 business partner opportunities will be announced this summer based on feedback from business partners.
2023 Conference Planning Committee Update:
The Conference Planning Committee is working on planning several exciting events and entertainment for the “Raise the Bar” Conference in Hershey this fall. There is a large ballroom that can accommodate most business partners, and if needed, the hallway can also be used. Early bird registration will open around August 1st. The committee is also open to suggestions for foot traffic and business partner engagement, such as whether business partners would like to submit a gift basket.
Once again, we want to thank all of our Business Partners for your support and membership.
