HUNTINGTON BEACH
LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
September - June Program Tuition *($1400) Tuition is per person.
This signature program of the Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce is an annual nine-month leadership development course that strengthens the Huntington Beach community and economic climate by encouraging public responsibility while motivating and preparing our next civic and business leaders. Sponsors at all levels will be acknowledged with the inclusion of their logos on printed programs, marketing materials, event signage, program participant tee shirts, and other branded items in addition to social media mentions and verbal recognition at RMLA events. *Tuition is $1,250 on or prior to June 30th, 2024. Tuition after June 2024 will be $1400. 50% deposit due before the retreat in September.
ALUMNI ACTIVITIES SPONSOR: $2,000
Help us engage and activate the more than 300 professional graduates of RMLA. This amount will support a variety of activities and events, including the ten alumni meetings held throughout year. In addition, it will enable us to build and maintain a database of graduates; produce outreach marketing materials to keep our alumni informed and involved; recognize and promote our alumni with written profiles; and develop an executive program to further expand their career growth and potential.
PROGRAM SPONSOR: $2,000
Help us expand the reach of RMLA across our entire community. Program sponsorships will allow us to offset some tuition costs for small businesses, non-profits, and worthy individuals who might benefit most from RMLA programs and networking but who might otherwise be unable to participate. This donation will ensure that the future leaders we are preparing represent a diverse cross section of our population and that our program serves the broadest possible constituency.
CATERING SPONSOR: $500
Help us energize our participants during learning sessions. This highly practical sponsorship supplies breakfast, lunch and refreshments for RMLA class days, class receptions and class networking events.
T-SHIRT SPONSOR: $400
Help us build RMLA team spirit. At each year's opening retreat, participants are presented with an RMLA tee shirt, which they wear for their class photo - an important first step in transforming a group of new class members into a unified, collaborative team.
This sponsorship helps fund the design and production of tee shirts for the entire class.
AWARD SPONSOR: $1,500
Help us recognize our graduates for their dedication. This sponsorship contributes to the purchase of the RMLA "diploma" - the beautifully crafted wooden plaque awarded to each participant upon graduation from the RMLA program. It serves not only as a congratulatory memento but also as a reminder of RMLA values and training.
RETREAT SPONSOR [LODGING & CATERING]: $3,000 *
Help us launch our annual program. Each year RMLA gets underway with a two-night leadership retreat, bringing new class members together to build relationships in preparation for their work together throughout the year. This sponsorship defrays the cost of food, beverage and lodging for participants.
RETREAT FACILITATOR SPONSOR: $6,000
Help us provide an exhilarating opening weekend. The leadership retreat that kicks off each year's program is a weekend of experience-based training and physical activity through which participants discover their strengths as individuals and their value as team members. This sponsorship will support the team-building facilitator we have been using with great success to prepare incoming classes for a year of learning and collaboration.
