Business Sponsorships
Businesses that share NMPAN’s mission have supported our work since our inception, in different ways. As a project housed within a public university and the national Cooperative Extension system, NMPAN cannot endorse any specific businesses or their products. However, we can thank our business sponsors in the following ways:
- List your business in the “Supporters” section on the “What is NMPAN page”
- Get listed on our “Equipment, Supplier, and Consultant Resources” webpage
- List your business as a supporter on the bottom footer of our monthly newsletter
Business sponsors are also welcome to:
- Post classifieds and events in our monthly newsletter
- Join and contribute to our listserv, which is an active group of 1,600 people asking questions and sharing advice about meat and poultry processing
