Other networking opportunities arise as the demands arise. InterPride Board Members will assist with contacts between organizations to solve specific problems.
Resources
Including Entertainment, Exhibitor and Supplier Resource databases. InterPride can make specific resources available to member organizations which includes a variety of materials, from samples of by-laws, march/parade applications/ registrations and other useful documents such as a resource pack to interested member organizations developing or reviewing their sponsorship strategy. The packet consists of a variety of examples of the materials sent to potential sponsors by other Pride Organizations with successful sponsorship programs. Support and advice is also available.
The complete list of InterPride member organizations is made available to exhibitors and can be a way for member organizations to attract additional revenue. InterPride is developing a database of exhibitors, available by country and region, including ratings by other member organizations
