I would like to thank you for your consideration of sponsorship of the CoAlliance of Business Associations.  This event will be held on Tuesday, October 20^, 2009.  I would like to tell you a little about us.

The CoAlliance of Business Associations is an umbrella organization for the business associations and chambers of commerce that are located within Metro Louisville.  Currently there are 29 member organizations.  We represent approximately 5,000 businesses within Metro Louisville.

This is the third year that we have held the Small Business Summit.  This event is an opportunity for those small businesses that happen to be woman, minority and veteran owned to meet with decision makers at larger companies in hopes of finding common ground and opportunities to gain contracts.  Over the last two years we had nearly 200 small businesses participate. 

We also provide information on certification in hopes that more of these companies will take advantage of certification.

Your help in sponsoring this event is very important and much appreciated.  Please feel free to contact me for additional information.  I may be reached by phone at 502-315-5387 or email at jackie.pennington@LNFCU.com.

Respectfully,

Jacqueline L. Pennington
