Become A Sponsor

AERGC is an all volunteer operated organization. Modest member dues defray costs with the production of our quarterly newsletter, our online forum and administration of our website. The organization is aimed at supporting educational greenhouse users and the industry involved with institutional greenhouses. Please have a look at our mission statement.

A unique relationship has developed between the AERGC and the greenhouse industry. Being a sponsor of the AERGC's Annual Meeting is mutually beneficial. The Annual Meeting provides a comfortable setting for personal and professional interaction between our members and you, as one of our corporate sponsors. Our Annual Meeting cannot continue to be a success without your support.

We seek sponsors to assist in costs for our annual meeting which brings those involved in institutional greenhouses together for three days. At these meetings it is common to find administrator, greenhouse engineer and vendor all working together to solve specific needs of the industry.
