What is the Sponsor-Vendor Spotlight Series?
(Note: Non-Sponsor Vendors pay $500 to avail this marketing opportunity. These programs are planned 6 months to a year in advance.)
The Program committee, in creating education for our members, seeks to bring in sponsor/vendors that complement our education program for the year. These series will feature one sponsor/vendor for each seminar. Sponsor/Vendors will get a chance to introduce their line products / services to us and more importantly, educate our members on the application / installation of their products and services.
Each Sponsor / Vendor will be given 30-40 minutes for a presentation and 10-15 minutes for Q/A.
Fees to present at our seminars are as follows:
Platinum: FREE
Gold: $100
Silver: $150.00
Bronze: $250.00
Vendors who are not a current APLDWA Sponsor/Vendor: $500.00
All Sponsor-Vendor Spotlight webinars will be free for members, but they must register in advance to get the Zoom meeting link and password. Members of the Virtual Chapter and other chapters of APLD are welcome to join these webinars for free as well.
Non-members can attend these webinars for $25. Recordings will be available for attendees (for free).
We will apply for CEUs, most likely we will get 0.5 CEU for each webinar.
For 2022 series – please get in touch with Kryssie Maybay (kryssie@kismetdesignco.com) of the Program Committee.
What is a POD?
APLDWA Peer Organized Discussion (POD) groups
All APLDWA members are eligible to join a POD group. Each POD meets periodically throughout the year to support and discuss issues that are pertinent to its individual members. Mentors in each POD help to coordinate topics and logistics.
The program is structured to suit its POD members’ needs. In general , each pod:
- is comprised of members who live in the same geographical area; meetings occur at a mutually agreed location or video conference.
- has 3-9 members and a mentor.
- meets every 4-6 weeks for about 2hrs; this is determined by the pod members.
- sets an agenda ahead of time and discusses topics timely to its members; meetings are respectful of people’s time.
- is collaborative in nature, respects each other’s knowledge, experience level, and aesthetics.
- is committed to supporting the needs of our newest designers.
Currently APLDWA has 5 PODs in the Seattle area
Eastside - Sammamish, Kirkland, Bellevue, North Bend… Mentor Laura Kleppe lbkleppe@comcast.net
South/West Seattle - Rainier Valley, Madison Park, West Seattle, Madrona… Mentor Tom Lawson madgardener@mac.com
Seattle - Wallingford, Greenlake, Ballard, Mapleleaf… Mentor Kevin Monohan kevin@avalonnw.com
North Seattle - Seattle, Shoreline, Lynnwood, Lake Forest Park… Mentor Barbara Lycett blycettalandscapes@gmail.com
South Sound – Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Bainbridge Island … Coordinator Susan Ryan sryan@harbornet.com
If you are interested in offering a presentation or tour of your business with a POD, contact the POD mentors/coordinators. They can propose and facilitate any arrangements.
