During the 2023-24 school year, MASA hosted two focus groups with our valued business partners. After listening to feedback from business partners, we are pleased to officially announce our new sponsorship program exclusively for MASA Business Partners!

Our sponsorship program offers a range of benefits and opportunities for organizations to showcase their support for education leadership in Minnesota. 

Benefits of Sponsorship

• Brand Awareness and Visibility: Enhance your organization's brand visibility and awareness among Minnesota superintendents and district-level administration leaders. Your logo and sponsorship recognition will be frequently seen by our members and event participants:
  • MASA’s membership consists of more than 1,000 members (more than 660 active members + 170 retirees + 170 business partners)
  • Two major annual conferences! | Nearly 300 members in attendance at each conference
  • More than 3,500 social media channel followers
• Positive Brand Associations: MASA has 117 years of history with Minnesota’s public schools! Sponsors can gain positive brand associations from our long-standing history, leveraging the trust and credibility that the association has built among superintendents and administrators across the state.
• Networking Opportunities: Engage in real face-to-face connections with MASA members and key association leaders through sponsorship of events, conference activities, awards, and workshops.

Coinciding with the sponsorship program are small adjustments to the MASA Business Partnership Program:

• Business Partners who wish to participate in the sponsorship program must renew their partnership at the Key Partner Level or higher. The Friend Partner Level is ineligible for the sponsorship program.
• The Friend Partner Level membership fee has increased from $1,000 to $1,500.
• The Key Partner Level membership fee has increased from $2,500 to $3,000.

Participation in the 2024-25 sponsorship program is first come, first serve. The online registration and payment will open on July 1 at 9 am Central time. Business Partners will be notified via email when registration is open. Annual business partner membership renewals will also open on July 1.

As a commitment to our current sponsorship relationships, any existing sponsorship partners were given the first right of refusal for their specific items in the 2024-25 program.
