An Invitation for Partnership with the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association

Partners for Progress

Missouri Veterinary Medical Association 2500 Country Club Drive, Jefferson City, MO 65109 573-636-8612 • Fax: 573-659-7175 • Email: mvma@movma.org We would like to offer you a special invitation to our year-round, multi-faceted MVMA sponsorship program called Partners for Progress. The program runs August through July each year.

Our current Partners have found the program gives them great flexibility and efficiency in reaching our over 1,700 veterinarian members, and that they are able to find several places in their budgets that components of this program fit nicely.

The sponsorship can be spread across representatives, territories, and products. By splitting the cost and component benefits of a year-round, multi-faceted MVMA sponsorship, Hill’s Pet Nutrition can work toward many product-specific goals while getting high-quality recognition as an elite sponsor. We developed this sponsorship after conferring with company representatives in past years that thought this program would offer the flexibility our industry friends need. I would like to invite you to take part in this exciting opportunity.

The MVMA Partners for Progress sponsor amount is $5,275 ($6,675 with 4 full-page full-color ads in the “Missouri Veterinary Quarterly”). With this amount, Hill’s Pet Nutrition will receive the many benefits outlined in the following pages.

The 2025 convention falls within this sponsorship period. Flexible billing can be arranged.

In addition, you have the flexibility to determine which benefits of this sponsorship you wish to use among your various products, representatives and territory budgets. As you are probably aware, the tangible benefits listed are worth well more than the sponsorship cost. The intangible benefits of recognition and privileges further enhance that value.

Please contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to your consideration of this partnership.

Sincerely, Julie R. Braun Executive Director jrbraun@movma.org 573-636-8612

Hill’s Pet Nutrition will be on the Partners For Progress pre-mailing for Exhibitors.

This allows extra time to get your first choice for booth location by returning your form earlier.

You will receive a link to your website from the MVMA homepage (www.movma.org). Updates are made constantly to the MVMA website making it a truly useful site that our veterinary members visit frequently.

Commercial links on the MVMA website will be limited to Partner For Progress Sponsors and partner programs.

Partners for Progress members have first opportunities to sponsor district meetings and provide speakers to get in front of veterinarians on a local level.

During the annual convention, attendees are given a punch card eligible for a winning prize that drives them to Partners for Progress booths. Recent prizes included a Yeti Cooler and a Mini-Max Big Green Egg grill.

As a 2024-2025 PFP Sponsor, we will give Hill’s Pet Nutrition a prime opportunity to be considered for providing a non-commercial speaker for continuing education at the annual convention in January 2025.

The company will also be given the first level of opportunity to pick speaker sponsorships available at the MVMA Convention.

As plans for other activities and projects develop, you can count on the fact that our Partner For Progress Sponsors will not be forgotten.
