Purpose of AMEM Annual Conference Sponsorship: As a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization AMEM (the Association) accepts charitable donations from individuals, small businesses, corporations and government entities to further our Vision through the execution of its Annual Fall Training Conference (the Conference).

Usage of funds donated: Funds donated will be used to offset costs associated with the Annual Fall Conference. All funds donated for the Conference will be used only for activities related to the Conference. These donated funds may not in part or in entirety be used during the year of donation and may be applied to future Annual Fall Conferences as the association sees fit. All donated funds will be tracked and accounted for by the Association Financial Audit Committee. The only exception is for donations where the explicit purpose is agreed to by both parties at time of donation.

Appropriateness of donations: The Association Board of Directors will review all proposed donations with the intent of protecting the Associations integrity. Decisions on acceptance of donations will be made in a timely manner. The Association reserves the right to refuse any or all donations for any reason without explanation.
