9 Working with Third Party Vendors Corporate sponsors may designate an advertising firm, communications company, or third party vendor to coordinate sponsorship on their behalf. The following guidelines apply: We ask that all initial confirmation communications occur exclusively between PAS and the corporate sponsor. PAS will then respond to any inquiries from third party vendors. Once the sponsorship is officially confirmed, the corporate sponsor may provide PAS with the contact information of the person representing the third party vendor. Communications between PAS and the third party vendor should include the original corporate sponsor representative. In its role as an accredited provider of CME through Tulane University, PAS must retain final control and authority over all Meeting programs and activities. Third party vendor representatives will inform and obtain approval from PAS before arranging for, or engaging in, any activities associated with the sponsored program or activity. To become a sponsor or for more information, please contact Carmen Beck, Manager, Convention and Meeting Services at or cbeck@aps-spr.org.
