THE PILLAR CONCEPT

The Tustin Chamber of Commerce "Pillar" designation is reserved for a limited number of active Chamber members who take pride in being identified as general sponsors for all chamber events and activities conducted throughout the year.  This sponsorship helps support important Chamber programs in the areas of Business Advocacy, Economic Development and Community Development.  Special, on-going recognition and additional benefits are received in return for this one all-inclusive subscription.

This concept offers the opportunity to gain an extensive measure of participation and visibility in the business community.

As an alternative to sponsoring activities event-by-event, Pillar subscribers are highlighted as sponsors of the total range of Chamber activities.  This is done through one all-inclusive annual, anniversary Pillar sponsorship billing.  A special feature of this program is the inclusion of exclusive Pillar sponsorship of certain chamber events, an opportunity available only to Pillar participants.

In addition to substantial recognition, Pillar sponsors receive special invitations, courtesy benefits, and complimentary tickets to specified events.  An annual sponsor profile and a monthly Pillar roster advertisement are highlighted in the Advocate.  Pillar sponsors are also recognized in all programs and publications associated with Chamber events.  Pillar sponsorships are available to active members in good standing only.
