Host an Event

Events promoted by the GADD are hosted by a Member at their business or a third-party location. The venue and topic of the event must be well-suited or aimed toward the GADD Membership.

Such events include networking after hours, open houses, Continuing Education Units, Lunch/Dine & Learns, etc. All financial and contractual responsibilities for these events fall to the hosting Member.

• All financial responsibility and liability fall to the Member host.
• Member host provides all information (marketing information/ flyer) to the GADD in a timely manner (preferably 5-8 weeks in advance).
