To our current and future sponsors:                BACK

Gulf Coast MGMA is pleased to announce our sponsorship program
for 2003!

Over the last two years, those companies who have affiliated with
Gulf Coast MGMA have made valuable contacts, reaching the decision-
makers of many of greater Houston's premier medical practices. 

Those who have gone to the next level and sponsored a specific meeting
have had the opportunity to inform those in attendance about their specific
product or service.  In addition, sponsorship includes a certain number of
Affiliate memberships, which have allowed the sponsoring company to
attend GCMGMA meetings as members, as well as to participate in
the member benefits of the organization.

This year, the board of Gulf Coast MGMA has altered the meeting
schedule and has adjusted the sponsorship program accordingly.  We
are planning on six (6) meetings during the 2003 calendar year, holding
them bi-monthly rather than monthly.  In addition, one or more of these
meetings will be structured as "symposia," which will run longer and
will involve two or more speakers.

Finally, the meeting location has been moved to Trevisio Restaurant,
in the heart of the Texas Medical Center.  Trevisio's facilities last night
proved to be oustanding, and our near-record attendance attested
to the success of the new meeting plan.

Based on the attendance last night and the number of new members
who have signed up to join the organization, we expect our numbers
to continue to grow beyond the nearly 150 active, affiliate, student
and honorary members we enjoyed in 2002.  To that end, and with
the concentration of topics for 2003 over fewer meetings, and the
new location, we expect our attendance to continue to be better
than 2002.

Sponsorships are available for the five remaining meetings this year,
the next one being Wednesday, March 5.  Information about how
to reserve a slot and the cost of meeting sponsorship can be found
on the Gulf Coast MGMA web site.  Click on the "sponsorship 
information" link to see the costs and benefits for 2003.

On behalf of the board of directors of Gulf Coast MGMA, we hope
that you will give serious consideration to the opportunities that
sponsorship represents, and will consider making or renewing
your investment for 2003.

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact
me or any other GCMGMA officer or director.

We look forward to hearing from you!
