Deserving of Recognition |
The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) celebrated
its 10th year in 1996. Throughout its first 10 years, FAER sponsored
more than 200 investigators, many of whom are now prominent leaders
of the specialty. The future of anesthesiology would be threatened
without this continuous development of new leaders and knowledge.
FAER was able to sponsor these people and their projects due to
strong and widespread supporters of the specialty. This support
includes constructive ideas as well as financial commitments.
The FAER Board of Directors gratefully thanks all contributors
to the Foundation. Contributors include ASA, anesthesiology subspecialty
societies, component societies, individual anesthesiologists and
corporations. Every donation helps the Foundation's ability to
achieve its purpose to "raise the standards of the specialty
by fostering and encouraging education, research and scientific
progress in anesthesiology."
This article focuses on Corporate Sponsors. In 1996, Corporate
Sponsors donated about $400,000; over FAER's 10 years, their total
donations were in excess of $4 million. Many of these corporations
have been committed to generously supporting the Foundation for
years. FAER hopes that this level of support will not only continue
but will increase in the coming years. We also hope that new corporations
will join FAER in supporting the specialty.
FAER recognizes the importance of the Corporate Sponsors by increasing
the visibility of these companies. FAER wants the anesthesia community
to know these companies are supporters of their specialty. The
Corporate Sponsors are acknowledged by:
- Recognition in the FAER Annual Report;
- Recognition on the FAER sign at the ASA Annual Meeting;
- Listing in the ASA Annual Meeting Program;
- Badge ribbons to be worn at meetings to identify the wearer
as a FAER supporter;
- Exhibit placards to be displayed so the anesthesia community
is aware of the companies' support;
- Awards supported by Corporate Grand Sponsors bear the company
name, and publications by the recipient note the company as
the sponsor. The corporate name is included in advertisements
for FAER programs and are on the grant guidelines. Corporate
Grand Sponsors are invited to be members of the FAER Advisory
Council. FAER is grateful and pleased to acknowledge
its sponsors in various levels of corporate giving:
