Please consider sponsorship as an excellent opportunity to distinguish your organization as a supporter of DCS and connect directly with Dayton's community of creative professionals. Members and non-members alike are kept up-to-date on our DCS events and programming through marketing emails, news releases, networking opportunities, social happy hours and our social media networks. DCS needs partners who will help us reach our goals—we hope you'll join us in our efforts to improve our industry and our creative community.
