The Beneficiaries
ISPA is working hard to expand the diversity of its membership to include representatives from countries that are currently not participating – without their voices, we are not looking at the whole picture. In order to assist those who simply can’t afford to attend, we’ve created a Global Engagement Program to enable new members to join and attend for at least three years.

The Target
The target for this evening’s fun activities is to raise $10,000 for this program. This would enable one or two representatives from far-flung countries to join and attend ISPA for three years. You will be able to “pay by pledge” this evening, and we will process payment later.

The Talent
Many of our members have hidden talents, and most are frustrated soloists! This is your chance to share your (performing) talent with your peers, and have a blast! We want items of no more than three minutes that can be performed in “cabaret” format. We’ll have lighting, sound, and even a producer/director - and drinks! All talent (good or less good) welcome.

Your Chair and CEO and Congress co-Chair will break the ice ….

ACTION: Email your name, description of the item, duration and technical requirements to jzietsman@ispa.org, and we’ll be in touch for more detail.

DEADLINE NOVEMBER 1.

The Auction
Under the enthusiastic hammer of a lively auctioneer, you can donate items to ISPA to be sold at the highest bidder to raise funds for the Global Engagement Program. Some ideas of the types of items you may be able to donate:

ACTION: Email details of your donation to jzietsman@ispa.org by NOVEMBER 1.

Thank you!
