Since 1990, MAESP has enjoyed the support of a number of business sponsors who have assisted the association financially in staging various association activities or events or have simply made an agreement to purchase advertising, exhibit booths, or assistance in promoting their products or services.  This financial support has grown to the point where it has become a consistent and significant part of the annual MAESP budget.

Our Purchase of Service Program has been revised for 2007-2008 and now recognizes six categories of business partners.
