Happy New Year and we hope that you had an enjoyable holiday season with family and friends!
We are reaching out with sponsorship opportunities for our 2025 Spring Safety Training for Drivers, Loggers and Mechanics.
We could not provide these trainings year after year without the support of companies like you and assistance with underwriting the expense is essential to their success. Sponsorship of the 2025 PLC safety trainings is also a great opportunity to show your company’s support for our members and your vested interest in the safety of their employees.
Marketing for this year’s training will be distributed to our members the first week of February through direct mail, e-mail, our website, Facebook, and our magazine. Your participation will also be highlighted during the classes and in all accompanying promotional material.
We will hold eleven training days throughout the Northeast during April and May for more than 100 of our member companies and 1,000 of their employees. Sponsors are always welcome to attend the training days and to set up an informational table. This year we will also have one training in Hartland, VT!
New opportunity for 2025 – get your company Logo on printed binders that will get handed out to all companies to use during tailgate meetings year round!
Timing We will be sending out promotional material to the membership the first week of February. If your company can sponsor, please let me know by COB on Friday, Jan. 17 to ensure your company is included on any/all promotional material that is sent out.
