RGV LEAD announces sponsorship opportunities for the November 12^th event

RGV LEAD’s 3rd Bi-Annual State of Education & Industry will take place November 12^th at the Texas Southmost College Performing Arts Center in Brownsville. The event supports a broader regional discussion about education, workforce development, and the industries shaping the Rio Grande Valley.

RGV LEAD is calling on local employers, industry representatives, civic leaders, and supporters to consider becoming sponsors. The sponsorship campaign's message is direct.

Together We Are Stronger. Together We LEAD.

For RGV LEAD, the event is more than a single gathering. It is a chance to highlight the work needed today so students can enter tomorrow’s workforce with stronger preparation, clearer direction, and more exposure to real career options.

Sponsorship levels support student career connections

RGV LEAD has announced three sponsorship levels for the State of Education & Industry event.

Sponsorship level	Contribution
LEAD Partner	$1,000
Workforce Partner	$500
Friends of RGV LEAD	$250

Organizations and community supporters interested in sponsorship opportunities for the 3rd Bi-Annual State of Education & Industry can contact Madahy Romero at madahy.romero@rgvlead.org.

Each level gives sponsors a way to support the organization’s mission of connecting students with real-world experiences, career pathways, and the industries that influence the region’s economic future.

The sponsorship invitation is framed around becoming a Partner in Progress, a phrase that reflects RGV LEAD’s focus on shared responsibility. The organization’s work depends on collaboration across education, business, and the community.

Event highlights education and workforce development in the Rio Grande Valley

The Rio Grande Valley continues to grow, and workforce preparation remains a key concern for schools, families, employers, and public leaders. Career awareness, hands-on learning, industry exposure, and student support all help young people understand where their talents can lead.

RGV LEAD’s State of Education & Industry is built around that connection. The event gives regional partners a setting to focus on what students need now and what local industries will need in the years ahead.

RGV LEAD’s message centers on a simple idea: the future of the Rio Grande Valley begins with the opportunities created for students today.

That focus includes more than classroom learning. It includes helping students see a future for themselves in fields tied to the region’s growth. It also includes creating stronger links between campuses and employers, so students can better understand the skills, expectations, and possibilities waiting beyond graduation.

Business and industry partners central to the effort

RGV LEAD’s sponsorship campaign targets organizations and individuals who want to strengthen links between education and employment.

Business and industry partners can help students understand career pathways by supporting events, sharing knowledge, providing real-world context, and joining regional conversations about workforce needs. Community supporters can also help sustain programs that make those connections possible.

The sponsorship effort recognizes that education and workforce development cannot happen in isolation. Schools, employers, nonprofits, community organizations, and families each hold part of the solution.

RGV LEAD’s invitation makes that shared role clear.

“We can’t do it alone, and we don’t have to.”

Sponsorship continue RGV LEAD’s regional mission

Sponsorship support will help RGV LEAD continue its work connecting students with opportunities tied to the real world of work. That includes efforts that expose students to careers, strengthen awareness of industry needs, and support pathways that help young people move from education into meaningful employment.

RGV LEAD’s broader message is LEAD Forward: Empowering Today’s Students. Building Tomorrow’s Workforce, reflects the purpose behind the November 12^th event.

For sponsors, participation offers a way to support a regional mission rather than attend an event. The focus is on long-term impact: helping students prepare for their next steps and helping the Rio Grande Valley build a stronger workforce pipeline.

Be part of something bigger

The November 12^th event in Brownsville will offer sponsors a place in a regional conversation about education, work, and the future of the Rio Grande Valley. Through sponsorship, partners can help RGV LEAD continue creating student opportunities today while supporting tomorrow's workforce needs.
