SOAL seeks partners who endeavor to enlighten, involve and educate people of all ages. SOAL will seek partnerships with Southern Oregon University, Rogue Community College, Chautauqua Poets and Writer's Guild, the Crater Lake Trust, along with visionary corporate sponsors, grantors, and individuals in bringing the world to the Rogue Valley.

Collaboration is the key to achieving our goals of engagement and intellectual curiosity. Our point of view is that cooperation will best serve the population of Southern Oregon, and with partners, we each minimize the risk and maximize the benefits of bringing nationally acclaimed speakers to our region.  

Partners will be asked to help promote the event, host receptions, identify potential sponsors, invite and involve potential audience members from their networks, associations and alliances.
