&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Name, email address, and phone number of the primary contact with whom you wish NIEAPA to communicate regarding the sponsorship&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The name of the organization, group, or individual in whose name the sponsorship is being purchased&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A sponsor logo image file; .jpg or .png format preferred&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;You may pay for your registration electronically at the time of registration, or you may select "offline payment" to be sent an invoice and instructions for mailing a physical check.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Due to the need for material lead-time in order to design, prepare, and process/print digital and physical materials, &lt;strong&gt;we cannot guarantee fulfillment of the following items for sponsors registering &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;after&amp;nbsp;April 10, 2026&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font color="#373737" face="Open Sans"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>
