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!
