Business Partner

MASA is pleased to offer a Business Partner Program that provides opportunities to connect with Minnesota’s educational leaders. MASA’s core belief is that the association’s role in engaging business partners is to facilitate a rich conversation that helps practitioner members understand which resources are available to support their districts. MASA’s business partner members understand the needs of Minnesota school districts and in many cases build long-
lasting relationships that benefit both school districts and their business partners.

Membership in the MASA Business Partner Program is offered on an annual (July 1 - June 30) basis and is open to any business whose products and values are in alignment with MASA’s vision. MASA expects business partners to:

  • Conduct business with integrity
  • Understand that membership does not assume the business is endorsed by MASA
  • Comply with all aspects of the benefit agreements, including exhibit and participation arrangements and deadlines
  • Treat MASA members, other Business Partners, and other exhibitors respectfully
    Support the vision of MASA
