Description

The Conference That Counts is an annual training conference for Internal Auditors (IIA), Government Accountants, and IT Governance professionals. 

The conference will take place in March 2020, at the Red Lion Hotel Albany. Traditionally, the conference trains between 500 and 600 professionals in state, government and privately owned organizations throughout New York and surrounding states.

During the conference, items are raffled off with the proceeds from the raffle donated to a local charity. This year the Committee has selected The Northeastern Association of the Blind at Albany (NABA) (https://naba-vision.org/). NABA is one of the oldest not-for-profit 501(c) (3) organizations in the Capital Region. It provides vision rehabilitation, vocational assessment, job placement, low vision exams, and adaptive technology training to blind and visually impaired individuals among other things.

We are looking for raffle prizes to be awarded on the last day of the conference. Such previously donated items include gift certificates, movie tickets, technology devices, and admission tickets to local events. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

Your Organization would be recognized as a donor on a sponsor board at the event.
