NHGSA asks the following donation/sponsorship:
- Ample space for classroom style meeting for up 20-25 students and a head table for up to five speakers. (The group should fit comfortably – the class is two full days, including meals & breaks.)
- Classes run two consecutive days from 9am-4pm. We will need additional time for set-up (7:30am on the first day and 8am on the second day) and break down (5pm on the second day).
- We ask that you or a partner provide lunch each day, and beverages (e.g., coffee, tea, soda and/or water) and a light snack (e.g., cookies, brownies and/or fruit) for morning & afternoon breaks. Planned lunch and snack times will be provided. On the second day, there are usually a few speakers that either stay for lunch or come early to present.
- We have our own LCD projector, screen, and laptop computer for presentations. If you already have this equipment, please let us know. If we bring our own, we will need a location in the front of the room with a small table.
In exchange for your donation/sponsorship we will:
- Name the class as you’d like (e.g., “Your Business Name” Class of 2023 — Aviation Museum Class of 2023);
- Provide a one-hour slot for you to speak about your property and give a tour of your facility to the students;
- Instruct GSAs who graduate from this class to be “experts” on your facility as proud graduates of the class bearing your name;
- Require GSAs who graduate from this class to wear a GSA name tag with their class name on it while they are on duty at visitor centers, special events and tours;
- Your GSA participants will be identified with your class name for awards, articles…

- Provide you with a class photo bearing your name;
