            To commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, the Indian Legal Program, (ILP), at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a two-day national conference entitled, "Indian Country's Winning Hand: 20 Years of IGRA - Indian Gaming Regulatory Act," on October 16 and 17, 2008.  This conference will be a balanced twenty year retrospective of the successes, failures, and impacts of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988.  It will be held at the Radisson Fort McDowell Resort & Casino, Scottsdale/Fountain Hills, Arizona.  Through conferences like this, the ILP brings Indian scholars, tribal leaders, tribal attorneys, and government agency officials from across the country to meet together in Arizona to examine relevant and timely issues in Indian Country.

            We are seeking financial sponsorships for the commemoration of this important anniversary in Indian Country.  We would like to defray some of the conference costs including meals, printing, advertising, and accommodations, while keeping registration rates as low as possible, so that tribal, non-profit and legal service employees may attend, and realizing some profits for scholarship fundraising.

            It is our sincere hope that you will be interested in supporting this event commemorating important legislation that has greatly expanded business opportunities in Indian Country. Please consider supporting a conference function of your choice, while increasing your corporate visibility.  There are a number of different sponsorship opportunities that provide companies with extensive exposure and recognition.  Please see the Financial Sponsorship Opportunities Information Sheet to find a level that fits with your area of interest and the type of exposure you desire. Depending on the value of the sponsorship benefits offered, your donation may be considered, in whole or in part, a charitable contribution.  Profits realized from the events will provide direct financial assistance to students of Indian law and American Indian studies.
           
            Thank you for your consideration of this request.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Timely pledges will ensure placement and publication of your corporate logo on brochures, materials, website and signage.  We would like to receive pledges by September 15, 2008; however we will be pleased to receive your sponsorship at any time prior to the event.  Just complete and return the Sponsorship Response Form; we will then follow up with your contact person.
