Sponsorship
HIMSS South Texas is a 501(c)(6) Trade Association. We are volunteer-run and have no paid staff. In order to fund our operations, we accept corporate sponsorships. Based on the level of sponsorship, we provide a tier of benefits commensurate with the sponsorship level. Payments are handled by PayPal. Please note that if you are a speaker, your firm cannot sponsor the event you speak at because this creates the perception of a "Paid Placement" where your firm is paying to have you delivered targeted educational content.
