Ride the Wave of Change with IFWE ~ Be an IFWE 2006 Sponsor.

The 2nd Annual International Forum for Women in e-Learning (IFWE) event, hosted by the United States Distance Learning Association, from March 27-29, 2006 is the premier event for women in the distance learning industry. This year’s hi-profile leadership forum promises to deliver an action-packed agenda that will reach out to the needs of women across multiple distance learning disciplines.

IFWE is such an important distance learning event you can not afford not to be a sponsor of this two and half day event being held at the Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston, Texas. The event targets women in the field who are currently in leadership roles, as well as those women who are on the rise in their careers. Your organization will play a vital role in supporting this year’s IFWE event. Women attending include PreK-12, higher and continuing education women, and corporate, government and military training, as well as women from the telehealth and distance learning consultant organizations.

By supporting IFWE’s inaugural vision which included such issues of changing leadership roles, the quality of deliverables in the workplace, the pace of technology innovation, the future of the global education and training marketplace, the cultural integration of distance learning, employment and options for the future, you provide your support through your organization’s sponsorship and validate the IFWE experience for all attendees.

As a leader in the distance learning industry, we welcome and invite your participation as a Sponsor for this year’s IFWE 2006 event.

The 2006 International Forum for Women in E-Learning would not be possible without Sponsor support.  Friends of IFWE is another opportunity to become involved. Your support will assist with the IFWE incidentals that a typical conference encounters during both the planning stage and the event itself. An example would be conference signage.
