Sponsors

Dear Potential Conference Sponsor,

The 2019 Alaska Cross Content Conference will be held in Anchorage on October 25th, 26th, and 27th, 2019. We are currently seeking corporate and individual sponsors for the conference. At the conference, entitled Growing Forward Together we will focus on innovative educational approaches that cross content areas. This is building on our 2017 conference of Putting The Pieces Together. We expect attendance from the Anchorage area and 500 statewide educators, administrators, presenters and vendors who will leave the conference and impact over 30,000 Alaskan students. The professional development offered for all who attend this conference will result in better teaching and subsequently better learning by students. We know that you have many requests for financial assistance but you can see that this conference is a unique opportunity to sponsor a venue that will have a significant impact on education in Alaska.

Why continue to combine all these content areas for a conference? We are working on creating a workforce that can problem solve, write and think analytically, communicate and defend ideas and develop inquiry skills. Current employment projections by the U.S. Labor Department show that an increasingly high percentage of future jobs require these skills as well as significant mathematics and science. One of the objectives of the Alaska Cross Content Conference is to assure that attendees have a clear picture of the importance of educating the whole child by showing them how to make connections to their daily lives. The conference will provide tools for administrators and teachers to use, leading our children in the classroom to becoming innovators in all content areas. We want Alaskan students to continue to “put all the pieces together” while students “grow together” to become productive citizens.

Please consider the importance and the impact of your sponsorship. Your contribution will help ensure a quality event and have a broad impact on education in Alaska and Alaskan communities. The organizing associations are non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations and the tax identification number is ASLA ID # 83-2177162. All donations should be made payable to the Alaska State Literacy Association and sent to PO Box 212596, Anchorage, AK, 99521.

Alaska Cross Content Conference Committee
