Steps

Here is rundown on how we make a decision for underwriting and amount of time it may take.
There may be additional steps created or even steps removed along the way. 
 

• Event producer meets with Director, Content & Event Marketing
• Event producer completes and submits application
• DTPB staff receives application
• Internal DTPB review begins, takes up to 14 business days to complete
• Marketing & Leisure Sales Team decides if Special Event Review Panel should make an evaluation and recommendation
• Panelists independently review and analyzes the application and support material
• Full Panel convenes to give the event a final score and make a recommendation
• Recommendation is forwarded to both the Senior Vice-President for Marketing & Leisure Sales, and then President & CEO for final approval
• DTPB staff contacts Event Producer with results
• If approved for investment, Event Producer meets with DTPB staff to discuss SETUP contract with terms of Co-Op or Direct Investment
• SETUP Contract is finalized and signed
• Within 30 business days of event completion, Event Producer submits Final Report - along with proof of underwriting benefits and invoice
• DTPB staff reviews Final Report, proof of underwriting benefits, invoice - submits request to Finance for funds disbursement
