COF HOST COMMITTEE

 

COF is comprised of a hand-picked group of individuals based on their professional and social standing in the community. The committee leverages their resources and community standing to elevate the mission of the organization. The best way for guests to be extended an invitation is to be sponsored by a COF host committee member. See a full list of our host committee members below.
 

SPONSORSHIPS

COF is actively seeking sponsors — and pursuing relationships with organizations who have shared values and who will extend COF’s positive community impact further. Sponsorship levels are designed to afford maximum value and opportunity for sponsors to engage and interact with both COF host committee members and the extended network. A representative sample of prior year sponsors includes the Industrial Bank of Washington, BMW of Silver Spring, COMPASS, and First Financial Wealth Management.
