Hi all,
A NIAD volunteer from Massachusetts here. I am trying to contact all of the New England NIAD coordinators in regards to the All New England Reptile Expo that I was at today. There was a NIAD booth there with coordinators from Rhode Island and Massachusetts, as well as a couple of MA volunteers. While we were there, at least 3 people from the New England Herpetological Society stopped by our booth. They all seemed very supportive of our group and since I left the expo today, I've been thinking about that.
Argiope has a pamphlet on the 'downloads page' that is specifically for non-profit organizations that might want to sponsor us. Now, I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to go about asking a group to sponsor us, but I really think that it would be great to sort of partner with NEHS and build on their experience and knowledge. If someone from NIAD could sit and meet with say, the president, perhaps we could get their sponsorship as a non-profit organization.
That brings me back to why I am contacting all of you. The reason I am a volunteer and not a coordinator is that I rarely have the time to follow up with all of my bright ideas. : ) I do hope however, that some of you can get together with each other and then and hopefully with NEHS. I have sent this message as an e-mail to all of the NE coordinators listed on the NIAD site but I am also posting this on the NIAD forum in the hopes that Argiope can give you some pointers on how to go about asking for sponsorship.
Thanks for your time- and good luck,
Carrie Stadalski
