Putting together the annual CoSIDA Convention takes hours of work by volunteers from our organization, the host hotel and local organizing people. But it also takes financial support.
CoSIDA is honored to have so many wonderful partners from a wide variety of groups. One of the ways that our partners assist our organization is by supporting our breakfasts (“coffee and pastries”) each morning of the convention.
In Tampa, some 48 organizations generously donated money to allow convention attendees to enjoy breakfast each day. They are listed here below with a contact name and e-mail address. Please take a moment to send them a thank-you note for their support of our organization.
