Hear From Our Past Sponsors
"Sponsoring the Dames provided an opportunity to not only invest in and support the work of a great organization that promotes women in business, facilitates building of networks and deeper connection, but it also provided me the opportunity to get my message in front of an audience of perspective customers. I felt appreciated as a sponsor and it felt good to support this organization!"
- Amber Swenor, Soul Seed
“I received an initial 5x return on investment when I became a Sponsor for The Dames, and I continue to see a return months later from the repeat exposure. It was a win-win getting to support such an incredible community of business women while getting increased exposure for the Lean Out Method to high-achieving action-takers who I love to work with, collaborate with, and support.”
- Crista Grasso, Lean Out Method
"By sponsoring, we were able to highlight our firm to exactly the people we want to hear our story. As an added bonus, our sponsorship dollars helped to make sure we got the “good” cheese at our in-person events. And every Wisconsinite knows the importance of busting out the good cheese."
- Erin Ogden, Ogden Glazer + Schaefer
