Your
past generous support of our workshops has allowed for highly
successful and educational meetings. Since the Scientific Workshops is a
small 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with Public Charity Status of
509a(2), without a government sponsor or industrial endowment fund, we
rely on the generosity of private organizations involved to help
underwrite some of the costs of the meeting. Sponsorship includes
several networking opportunities throughout the event that would be
nearly impossible to support using registration fees alone. Sponsorship
funds are also used to support the Student Scholarship Award program.
The Scientific Workshops fill an important niche in the security
community, particularly with this year’s TEDD & CED Workshops,
as it brings related fields of trace explosives and drug detection
together for a unique cross-sharing of technical information and
knowledge.
