Name of the Training and Region you are looking to sponsor:

1. The resource pages for each training are written with great intentionality and purpose. We ask that deviations from the written materials inside it be discussed with the team coach for their suggestions and insight. Please initial if agreed.

2. Starting the team process with the first team meeting at least 6 weeks prior if a workshop or 2-day training, and 8 - 10 weeks prior if a 3 or 4-day training. Please initial if agreed

3. The Sponsors also agree to the team ground rules that the team members do in the first team meeting. Exceptions are made for the Sponsor to take a more “hands off” distant role centered primarily around finances only when it has been specifically discussed with the Director of Communications and with the team coach. Please initial if agreed.

4. Team members are expected to be present for all three team meetings for the full duration of the meeting time if a 3 – 4 day training, and a minimum of 2 meetings for 2 day trainings. Please initial if agreed.

5. Once connected by the Director of Communications, the Sponsor will initiate contact with the Coach to set-up a core team call prior to the first team meeting. The team as a whole, which includes the Sponsor, are expected to all be on weekly one-hour calls with the Coach at the agreed upon weeks. For 2-day trainings, the Coach is committed to 6 “all team” calls and for 3 or 4 day trainings, the Coach is committed to 8 “all team” calls. Please initial if agreed.

6. The Sponsors are expected to take responsibility for their own finances, including working through the projected budget numbers prior to signing the Sponsor Letter of Agreement. It also includes keeping close track of receipts, communicating clear budgetary decisions to team members making purchases on their behalf, and communicating to the team coach the approximate “break-even” number for participants by the first team meeting. Sponsors will check in with the trainer(s) and coach prior to the training to find out their preference for how to receive their trainer and coach fee. They will receive that fee no later than the last day of the training, if not sooner. Please initial if agreed.

7. One of the primary roles of the Sponsor is to take good care of the Trainer(s). This includes being in communication with the Trainer early in the process to clarify travel plans and accommodations, as well as ensuring that the team food person has checked with them on their personal food preferences both for meals, as well as for snacks, and having desired beverages or water readily available for them throughout the training. Any extra effort given to ensure the Trainers’ comfort is most welcome.
