Without more clarity with the Bragg event I am highly skeptical of it coming together at this point to be honest considering we are half way through February and the conference is starting in 2 months.

With Boots I think we could be a sponsor, although I'm not sure exactly what "in-kind" support means in this case. Would it mean the committee buying tickets, us promoting the event and selling tickets at the conference? I recall that is what we discussed before and don't see a problem. I think it would be a positive thing to be involved in.

You all probably recall that we decided we couldn’t partner with the CCPA on the event because the only date he could come is May 11 – one day too late for us. But Molly tells me that they would benefit significantly from our sponsorship, which would involve us formally becoming a sponsor and supporting them in-kind (they would also accept monetary support, but I am guessing we can afford only in-kind). They are about to launch the event, so if we are able to sponsor, it would help if we could tell them soon.
