Preserving Paradise Business Partners (PPBP) are local businesses who share a common goal with the VIWMA, namely, to “Preserve Paradise”. This includes working together to sponsor programs, projects and events that educate and inform the public about VIWMA’s initiatives to improve our services to the community. PPBP can make in-kind or monetary to VIWMA’s programs that introduce environmental educational information to students, community or civic organizations. Each business that participates in a VIWMA program becomes a Business Partner. Upon completing the Partnership Agreement forms, the VIWMA presents that business with a Certificate of Participation and a window decal announcing their membership into the Partnership. Businesses that participate or co-sponsor any VIWMA event are also included in the advertisements for that particular program.
