In 2010, the Minnesota Zoo created the Young Professional Advisory Council ("YPAC") to serve as the advisory council the Minnesota Zoo Foundation Board and to create AZUL, an organization of like-minded young professionals interested in the mission of the Zoo. YPAC serves as the board of directors of AZUL and as advisory council to the Minnesota Zoo Foundation Board.

AZUL Partnership/Sponsorship Opportunities:
AZUL helps form meaningful bonds for its members in an active, social environment, in order to forge larger connections within our community that holds a passion for conservation and wildlife. AZUL is establishing these social connections through events geared toward young professionals looking for an exciting outlet for fun, networking, growth, education, and conservation opportunities.

AZUL Event Partnership/Sponsorship -
AZUL Events at the Minnesota Zoo are excellent corporate sponsorship opportunities. If visibility and branding opportunities are what you want, event sponsorship is a great investment. Sponsorship benefits may include:  Logo ID/name recognition on event promotional materials, logo ID on collateral pieces, logo ID on AZUL webpage and social media pages, Zoo admission passes, and hospitality opportunities. Sponsorship fees generally range from $1,000 - $10,000, depending upon event attendance and promotional support.
