COSA conferences, including the 32 Annual Seaside Conference, rely heavily on the generous support that comes from a variety of sponsors.  Besides taking part as vendors in the conference, these businesses and institutions support a variety of activities that occur during the event.

Here's a list of sponsors and the event, award or amenity they are supporting:

• Comotiv -- $2,000 -- Oregon Superintendent of the Year
• Allied Video -- $2,000 -- OACOA Achievement of Excellence Award
  
• ING Financial Advisers -- $2,000 -- Oregon High School Principal of the Year
• Virco -- National Sponsor -- Assistant Principal of the Year
• Walden University -- $2,000 -- National Distinguished Principal (elementary)
• Horace Mann Insurance -- $1,600 -- COSA Conference Bags
• The Principals' Partnership, a Program of the Union Pacific Foundation -- $1,500 -- President's Reception
• Retirement Planning Group -- $300 -- New Administrators' Lunch
• AIG VALIC -- $300 -- Thursday Pastries
• Willamette ESD -- $300 -- Friday Pastries

"Our sponsors are critical to the success of our conferences," Bill Beck, COSA Director of Professional Development, says. "Bottom line, without their support, registration fees for this and other conferences would be significantly higher. As you get the opportunity during the conference, please let our sponsors know how much we appreciate them."
