Engagement Guidelines When Not the Host Sponsor

Over the last few years, we have been seeing more and more of ALA’s Chapters inviting their business partners to attend their educational luncheons/meetings even when not the host sponsor of the event. ALA’s Business Partner Relations Team is happy to see this trend catching on within our chapters. It is an excellent opportunity with which our business partners can increase their credibility and build better relationships by showing interest in the challenges our members face with their firms and organizations. Because we are seeing this more and more, the BPRT thought it might be useful to provide our business partners with some engagement guidelines specifically for these types of situations.

So, let’s examine the difference between a vendor and a business partner.
