The sponsorship coordinator will screen against the priorities listed above before sending to the Cabinet Community and Planning Committee for further consideration. This committee meets on a semi-monthly basis to review sponsorship requests. All requests will receive written notice of the committee’s decision as soon as a decision has been reached.

The West Valley CEO will be consulted on sponsorships relating to West Valley Hospital and its surrounding areas. No organization will receive more than $5,000 combined, per fiscal year, without approval from Administration.
