Dear [Name],

Friday, October 6 is Sign MFG Day – a day sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM)

and the International Sign Association (ISA) to:

• Educate local students on how manufacturing offers rewarding, good paying, and highly skilled

career choices;

• Expand our community’s awareness of manufacturing, the sign, graphics and visual

communications industry and how we contribute to the provincial and national economy; and

• Showcase the wide range of diverse job opportunities that exist within the sign, graphics and

visual communications industry.

We are partnering with ISA and NAM as part of this important day and I am inviting you and your students

to [personalize for your event – i.e. participate in an open house and tour of our company where team

members will show-and-tell their roles in the process] at [company name] on Friday, October 7 from

[time; (i.e. 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM].

[Insert company information describing your company in two to three sentences. Insert one or two

sentences stating what you feel you have to offer students. If you have participated in Sign MFG Day in

past years highlight this.]

This open house and tour is a valuable and educational opportunity for your students to see our company

and to learn more about the sign, graphics and visual communications industry – and more importantly,

how their skills translate to what we do every day. The sign, graphics and visual communications industry

is extremely varied, offers competitive wages and amazing job opportunities.

My employees and I sincerely hope you will accept our invitation. Please let me know at your earliest

convenience if you will be able to attend. My direct line is [phone number] and my email address is [email

address]. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you and your students on October 6.

Best regards,

[Name and Title]
