SPONSORSHIP The Year 2000 CRRA Conference is scheduled for July 23-26th at the Convention Center in Sacramento, California. This is the premiere event for professionals in the fields of recycling, reuse, composting and market development in the State of California. This years theme, Turning Challenges into Opportunities, highlights the importance of sharing experiences from successful programs in order to realize the potential for change offered by AB939 and Zero Waste. This Conference follows on the heels of a highly successful event held in San Francisco in 1999, with close to 1,000 attendees. We invite you to participate in this exciting event by demonstrating your support for this rapidly growing industry, projected to add $2 billion to Californias economy and to create thousands of new jobs within the next few years. Conference sponsorships may consist of financial contributions, both in cash and in kind, as well as contributions of volunteer time and energy required to put on this one-of-a-kind event. |
