Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorships allow us to showcase and individual alumna,  business, service, or product. Many sponsorship opportunities will provide augmenting support to enhance the symposium's speakers, activities, an outreach to engage a broader audience while also raising the event's profile. Other opportunities throughout the symposium will highlight alumnae-led initiatives. Sponsorship recognition will include a website feature, recognition at registration that acknowledges the sponsorship, screen acknowledgment during the event, and inclusion in a sponsorship brochure.

All sponsors must be committed by January 30, 2026, to be included in the Women in Focus program. If you have a women+owned or centered business, product, or service and would like to discuss a sponsorship opportunity for Mercersburg Academy's Women in Focus, please contact Jenn Flanagan Bradley '99, director of strategic initiatives, at bradleyj@mercersburg.edu or 717-328-6140.

All members of our community of women+* are welcome to attend. If financial hardship might prevent you from joining, please let us know so we can help. Please contact Carolyn Yeager at yeagerc@mercersburg.edu or 717-328-6219.
