Ensuring Access to Better Health Care

2016 Associate Membership & Sponsorship Opportunities

Dear Sponsors:

It’s hard to believe that I am celebrating my 2nd anniversary as MHPA’s director of membership and development! Over these two years I’ve had the pleasure of working with sponsor companies whose products and services change the lives of Medicaid beneficiaries across the country, companies that got critical exposure to our health plan’s decision-makers at the highest level by participating at our annual conference. Over these past two years, I have listened to your feedback, comments, and suggestions, and we have created a brand new conference sponsorship program with opportunities and upgrades that will fit every company’s needs. And if you don’t find what you’re looking for within the pages of this brochure, I am happy to help create a package that’s perfect for your company.Becoming a sponsor at Medicaid Health Plans of America’s 2016 annual conference, the largest Medicaid managed care conference in the nation, elevates your company’s profile among the industry, distinguishes you from your competitors, and showcases your products and services to the clients and customers you seek. If you are a returning sponsor or exhibitor, welcome back and thank you for your continued support and dedication. If you are new to MHPA and are considering a conference sponsorship for the first time, I look forward to working with you.Please do not hesitate to contact me any time with questions or to discuss these opportunities in greater detail at (202) 857-5772 or sswango@mhpa.org. Sincerely, Sarah G. Swango
