The WRA's 2003 convention Web site has all the resources you'll need to plan your trip to "Paradise" on Sept. 21-23 in the Wisconsin Dells. Learn more about workshops, classes and other special events you will have the opportunity to attend.

The site is available any time you are making your plans-day or night-and is full of incentives for you to get registered!

The "Program" page contains a detailed schedule for each day of the convention. Use this tool to see what's going on during your free time or as a quick reference for information on scheduled events. Be sure to check out this page and build your own personalized itinerary for the days you will be attending convention. This is a convenient way for you to note what you're interested in attending and keep your schedule organized.

The "Special Events" page provides information about the many special events and outings going on-including several designation courses, a golf outing, a "Margaritaville" icebreaker party, a mud-hut party, the Chairman's Dinner, appraisal and real estate CE classes, and more! Want to attend the golf outing? Search out the icons in our online scavenger hunt and enter into drawings for free golf green fees and gift certificates to two different restaurants at the Kalahari Resort.

Sponsoring an event at the annual WRA Convention provides refreshments, entertainment and/or speakers that are greatly appreciated by WRA members and convention attendees. In return for your contribution, you receive greater exposure and recognition. For each event we recognize the sponsors by displaying their company name on all corresponding signage, in our convention program and in our Virtual Exhibit Hall on the WRA Web site for one year. Note: in order to receive recognition in the Convention Program, please make your Convention Sponsorship commitment before August 30, 2003. 

For those interested in sponsorship of a speaker, you receive additional benefits of having the option of introducing the speaker for the session and to distribute company literature to workshop attendees. 

We have several different sponsorships opportunities to choose from. They include events such as one of the holes for the golf outing for $200, beer in the exhibit area for $300, the entertainment for the Chairman's Dinner for $2000 and even the Opening Speaker for $5000 and many more.

We encourage you to look at our sponsorship opportunities and expand your exposure on this year's annual convention and contact Debbie Thacker at 608-241-2047 or dthacker@wra.org
