Georgia Association of Homes and Services for Children

MARKETING AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES


WHY MARKET YOUR COMPANY AT THIS CONFERENCE?
The professionals attending this conference represent almost every geographic region of Georgia’s child welfare system and a broad range of programs and services. They are constantly striving to improve service provision through innovative products and services that help their organizations enhance the quality and effectiveness of their programs. Exhibiting affords your organization an opportunity to reach a large and diverse audience.
