The VOR 2010 Annual Conference and Washington Initiative, held June 4 - 9, 2010 in Washington, D.C., was a great success.
This annual event would not be possible without the generous support of our many Sponsors. Please see the listing below for all those who provided financial support to make our meeting happen. THANK YOU 2010 SPONSORS. About Sponsorships The vast majority of the costs associated with hosting the VOR Annual Conference is covered by the generous support of sponsors and exhibitors who value VOR's work and recognize the grassroots impact of the annual Washington, D.C. event. Sponsors and Exhibitors benefit from guest passes to the conference, free literature distribution to attendees, and acknowledgment at the conference, in VOR's national publications, and on the VOR Website. Also new in 2010 is the opportunity recognize an individual, organization or business in VOR's Conference Program. Recognition space is available in different sizes and is a great way to put your message in the hands of every Conference participant. Businesses, associations and individuals are invited to take advantage of these unique opportunities to support a good cause while also visibly positioning your organization as a leader among organizations supporting people with mental retardation and developmental disabilities.
