Presenting Partner Program
The Presenting Partner Program is a new opportunity offered through the St. John’s Board of Trade that grew from the request of our members to speak at our luncheons.
This program allows maximum exposure to the Presenting Partner at one select luncheon during the year. For predetermined financial support, the Presenting Partner will be able to introduce and thank the guest speaker, as well as receive acknowledgement from the podium, along with complimentary luncheon tickets.
Please see the Presenting Partner Program criteria for more details.
Corporate Sponsorship Program
