The NTCA Star Partner Program has three levels of participation: Super Star, Shooting Star and Rising Star. These partnerships include annual support of NTCA through advertisements in Rural Telecom, advertising in meeting program guides and on the association’s website, and sponsoring the association’s meetings.

As an NTCA Star Partner, you’ll receive year-round recognition through mentions in the association’s annual directory, magazine, program guides, meeting promotions and signs, and on the association’s website. Additionally, star partners get first choice on exclusive marketing opportunities. Additional benefits are based on the partner level you attain and are detailed below.

Save thousands of dollars by selecting the Star Partner Program bundled marketing package of your choice. Here’s how:

	Pick the Star Partner package of your choice.
	Select which events at the annual, fall and regional meetings you want to sponsor at the level you have chosen.
	Pick the specialty meetings you want to sponsor and select which events you wish to sponsor.
	Check all your choices on the enclosed order form, including print ads in Rural Telecom, print program guide ads and Web advertising.
	Add up the total and subtract the applicable star partner discount. No further advertising agency discounts are applicable.
	Your final total, after discount, must be above the partner threshold level of your package.

Due to the popularity of limited exclusive sponsorship items (e.g., totes, lanyards, hotel key cards, pens, etc.) available during the annual, fall and regional meetings, each company is limited to one exclusive sponsorship per year—unless there are some available after all partners have chosen their packages.

Customized packages can be designed to meet your specific needs. Feel free to contact Lisa Freedman at lfreedman@ntca.org to discuss how you can create a package better suited for your company.

All package contracts must be received by November 18. All packages require prepayment by February 1, 2012.
