Sponsorship Sponsorships play a large role in the Recreation and Parks Department’s success, this will be no different for Heritage Sites. A variety of sponsorship opportunities will be developed for these historic assets. These may include sponsorship for exhibits, education, outreach and publications. The intent is to partner with companies and organizations to provide the highest quality exhibits, programs and educational experiences while providing benefits through access to our members and guests. Exhibit sponsorships will be offered at several different locations and with each location offering four different displays annually. The decentralized sponsorship opportunities will be a better value for potential sponsors. The sponsor ship will include social media recognition, naming rights logo and details listed on the exhibit. Sponsorship benefits will be negotiated by the Village and the sponsor. Education sponsorships will be offered for programs and special events. The sponsor will receive acknowledgment at the program/event, social media recognition, logo on promotional material while the Village will receive funds to offset the cost of the program.

Community Partnerships As local government funding becomes more and more scarce, now is the ideal time to cultivate local partnerships with other agencies, like the library and township. Creating new partnerships with other local government agencies will save costs, increase innovation and maximize resources while providing greater access to services. Strategic collaboration offers participating agencies a way to achieve their goals in cost effective and innovative way. The first step will be contacting other agencies to see if there is a natural fit in collaboration, starting with the Orland Park Library. The Heritage Sites have a bright future. This strategic plan is designed to guide the sites toward positive change and deliberate growth. The plan will be reevaluated and updated in 2027 for potential implementation in 2028 through 2032.
