After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Sponsorship At this time, I would like to ask for your institution's sponsorship for this event. We expect more than one hundred Beta Phi Mu members and friends to join us for this special occasion. Your gift will show your support of the "best and brightest" in the LIS profession, remind your alumni of your contribution to their success, and serve as a connection to alumni living at a distance from your institution. All sponsors will be acknowledged on the Beta Phi Mu website, listed in the event program, displayed on table toppers at registration, and thanked from the podium at our business meeting. You may also send branded "giveaways" for distribution at this event if you wish to do so. Here are our sponsorship categories: DIAMOND ($500), PLATINUM ($300), GOLD ($200), and SILVER ($100).
