Dear Sir or Madam:
It is our pleasure, to offer your organization the opportunity to become a valuable sponsor of the 2013 Minority
Business Expo. As a sponsor, you will continue to help bring quality programming, business collaboration, and
educational forums to hundreds of entrepreneurs. Last year, an estimated 550 people took part in the Business Mixer,
One-on-One Sessions, Workshops, luncheon and exhibitor area. Corporations are an integral part of this success, and
we appreciate and encourage your involvement in this worthy cause.
Please join us in helping to make our minority and women owned businesses grow! After ten incredible years, the
effects the Expo has had on Central Kentucky are abundantly evident. The 11th Annual Minority Business Expo will be
held August 1 – 2, 2013 at the Lexington Convention Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
Enclosed is information on the sponsorship opportunities available to you. If you have any questions, please contact the
MBE directly by calling (859) 285-1173. You may also contact Marilyn Clark directly by email at mclark@lexingtonky.gov
or by calling (859) 258-3323.
Thanks for your ongoing support for one of Lexington’s premier events.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Clark
