How do we register to become a Corporate Partner?

You may complete the 2025 Reaching Out MBA Corporate Partner Application in one of the following two ways:

First, you may complete our application online via Google form here. This is our preferred method. We understand that your company may have firewalls around these forms; however, we ask that you contact your IT team to ask for special access to this form, if possible.

Second, you may complete our application via an Excel spreadsheet. Please contact our Development Director, Demetri Sparks, and Development Coordinator, Sadiyah Rashied, at sponsorship@reachingoutmba.org for access to the Excel sheet. Please make sure to complete the first two tabs at a minimum. If you are partnering with us for the ROMBA Conference at the Garnet level or above, there is an additional tab to complete. Similarly, if you are partnering with Summer Treks and/or Additional Events, there is a special tab for signing up.

We highly recommend signing up by the end of May to get the most out of the year-round engagement. Partnership opportunities do sell out, so we encourage signing up ASAP!
