Publications:
Need for one-pager for publications: This will show promotion opportunities for supporting and non-supporting partners. It will include rates (free, prorated, full price) and options where we create the ad or they can submit an ad they created. This would allow us to educate people on how we can support the promotion of their EAL projects/workshops/anything
