We are working hard to keep the cost of the annual Investiture Dinner reasonable, but must comply with our policy that all Order of Malta American Association events be cost neutral. As such, we are offering a range of underwriting opportunities to support the Investiture Dinner. We initially extended the opportunity to sponsor a component of the dinner to our Board of Directors and Area Chairs. Early and generous support will be instrumental in ensuring the success and elegance of this important occasion. Click here to learn more about this opportunity to support this year’s dinner. We sincerely thank those who have already generously offered their support. It is truly appreciated!
