Sponsorship & Exhibitor Opportunities

Sponsors provide the philanthropic support needed to hold Symposium costs steady for participants, many of whom work on a volunteer basis for organizations committed to improving the lives of the underserved. The International Parish Nurse Resource Center (IPNRC) offers numerous benefits to sponsors, including the opportunity to develop relationships with leaders in the parish nursing community.

Exhibiting at the Westberg Symposium is a great way to reach a diverse group of parish nurses, coordinators, and educators who are eager to network and learn more about resources for health, advocacy, research and social services.

Not-for-profit and for-profit exhibitors are encouraged to exhibit at the Symposium, offering the opportunity to reach over 500 faith communities from the United States and abroad.  If you are interested in being an exhibitor or sponsor, please click on the link for more information.
