2012 VFHS Annual Conference

March 29-31 in Williamsburg, Virginia

INFORMATION FOR SPONSORS

We hope that you will join us as a sponsor of the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies' (VFHS) Annual Conference 2012, which will be held Thursday, March 29 - Saturday, March 31, 2012 at the Crowne Plaza, Williamsburg, Virginia.

VFHS was founded over 50 years ago and continues its mission by providing education to organizations, agencies and individuals dedicated to promoting and improving the welfare of animals in Virginia; addressing issues of animal cruelty and advocating on behalf of animals within Virginia; and addressing the issue of pet overpopulation through the development and support of low cost spay/neuter and trap-neuter-return ("TNR") programs. Our members include humane societies, SPCAs, other sheltered and unsheltered organizations, animal control agencies, animal rescues, and other individuals who care about animal welfare.

Several pre-conference sessions will be held on Thursday, March 29, and the general Conference will begin with a welcome session on the morning of Friday, March 30. Workshop sessions are scheduled to be offered all day Friday, March 30 and Saturday, March 31. We had a strong turnout of 125 attendees at our 2012 Conference and hope to have even more attendees at next year's Conference from all parts of Virginia.

Most levels of sponsorship provide the opportunity for organizations to display their information at a table in our Exhibit Area, which will be open throughout the day on Friday March 30 and Saturday March 31. All of our sponsors will receive recognition on the VFHS website throughout 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.

Further information on sponsorship levels and benefits, and a sponsor registration form, are attached. If you have any questions, please contact VFHS at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
