ASHA Sponsors
The American School Health Association has an impressive record of service and a strong commitment to the membership’s central goal of promoting the development of healthy children and youth. You too can embrace ASHA’s commitment to providing superior services and programs by partnering with us as an ASHA sponsor.
Opportunities are available in Conferences, Publications and Scholarships.
ASHA sponsorships are vital to ASHA’s interests as well as mutually beneficial to your institution. Your financial contribution enables ASHA to continue to shape standards of practice for school nurses, physicians, health educators, and other school health professionals, to maintain high-quality education programs, and to conduct and report research on the cutting-edge.
Sponsors gain access to ASHA membership, establish visibility for their products and services, and openly reaffirm their commitment to the health of children.
Please look over the level of involvement you wish to make and join with us today. Mary Bamer Ramsier at the ASHA National Office will help you identify the activity that will maximize your visibility. Thank you.

ASHA conferences and education programs offer diverse perspectives and new ideas for linking school health professionals with the resources they need to improve their performance. With an annual conference, ASHA provides a captive audience of more than 600 health care delivery and teaching professionals seeking solutions to the new and old problems facing children in schools.
What better way to put your institution in the spotlight than by affiliating with ASHA and its 80-plus year history of successful meetings. The honor roll of institutions and groups who have sponsored programs and events at ASHA conferences is impressive, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, Co., sanofi pasteur, MetLife Foundation, the John P.
