2018 Religion Communicator Council Convention Sponsorship Opportunities

Dear friends,

This spring, from April 5-7, we are pleased to host the Religion Communicator Council’s annual convention at the Sheraton Atlanta!! Our theme, “Realizing the Dream: Peace and Justice Through Communication”is tied to our emphasis on communication as a bridge toward greater peace among all people of faith. Our participants will experience the great city of Atlanta, visit The National Center for Civil and Human Rights and other historical sites.

We invite you to highlight your organization's services with faith-based communicators from around the country. The 2018 multi-faith forum is intended to enrich, engage, educate and empower professional communicators of religion and faith-based issues.

Our anticipated audience of 150 people or more represent faith groups on local, regional, national and international levels. They are involved in many types of communications - television, radio, print, blogging, webcasting, etc. They are managers, writers, editors, designers, mainstream broadcasters and technicians.

Besides the additional benefits listed below, all sponsoring organizations will be listed in the convention program book.

Information for sponsorship opportunities is attached. For further questions, contact: Shirley Struchen

Thank you for supporting the Religion Communicators Council! We could not do it without you!

We look forward to seeing you in April!

Sincerely,

Amelia Tucker -Shaw Coordinator with Shirley Struchen
