Strategic Partner Program
The Leadership Asheville Strategic Partner program was developed to provide the business community with opportunities to align itself with Leadership Asheville through a customized marketing platform. These bundled packages are unique opportunities for our institutional supporters to help build and maintain year round relationships and contact with our constituents. We refer to our Strategic Partners as investors because they invest in the future of the greater Asheville region. These investors play a critical role in ensuring our ongoing effectiveness in strengthening our region’s leaders, engaging the community, and assisting our leaders to take action for the benefit of our communities. For this relationship, Leadership Asheville will only align itself with firms that are good corporate citizens with positive images and high-quality reputations and that are deeply committed to community leadership and involvement.

The Strategic Partner program provides maximum exposure for a company seeking to align itself with Leadership Asheville. This bundled package is the most comprehensive of the supporting program opportunities available to our business partners. With extensive overall promotional rights and benefits, unique exposure at signature events through highly customized sponsorships, and exclusive access to our graduates, the strategic partnership helps you achieve marketing objectives in ways never before available while building and maintaining a unique relationship with Leadership Asheville and the community as a whole.

This three year commitment includes a variety of benefits and marketing opportunities. Please review the Strategic Partner Term Sheet(.pdf) for further details.  You may also contact us with any questions you may have.
