Corporate Relations
Corporate Relations is how Tau Zeta Sigma builds and keeps relationships with the businesses and employers whose support makes our programming possible.
What Corporate Relations Focuses On
Sponsors, employers, and local businesses are partners in the work rather than a line item. Here's how the chapter approaches those relationships.
Sponsorship
Toy drives, food drives, STEM Day, scholarships — every one of them costs something. Corporate Relations is the chapter's front door for businesses that want their support to land directly in Collin County.
Employer Partnerships
Building relationships with employers across North Texas so that career exposure, internships, and professional development reach the young men we mentor and the brothers in our chapter.
In-Kind and Venue Support
Not every partnership is a check. Space for a meeting, food for a workshop, or products for a giveaway are often what makes an event happen at all.
Alongside Bigger & Better Business
Corporate Relations and Bigger & Better Business point in the same direction from opposite ends: one brings partners to the chapter, the other takes the chapter's resources out to entrepreneurs and business owners.
Our Astute Tuesdays Premier Networking Series is where that overlap is easiest to see — a room of professionals and entrepreneurs who are, on any given night, both the people we are serving and the people who go on to sponsor the next project. Read more about that side of the work on the Bigger & Better Business page, and see who has already stood with us on our community page.
Bro. Robert Ricks
As our chapter’s Director of Corporate Relations, Bro. Robert Ricks is the first point of contact for businesses and organizations looking to partner with Tau Zeta Sigma here in Collin County.
A published sponsorship packet with tiers, benefits, and deadlines is still being put together. Until it is posted here, the fastest route is a conversation — tell us what your organization cares about and we will tell you honestly where it fits.
Does your business want to sponsor a chapter program, host an event, or open a door for the young men we mentor? Contact us and let’s talk.
