2007-08 IHSA LICENSED VENDORS

Last updated: August 16, 2007

Attention Member Schools:

At this time, the vendors listed below are the only vendors that have been approved for the 2007-08 school term. Member schools are required to use only the vendors from this list. If a vendor is not on this list, the vendor is not to be used.

If you have been contacted by a company to produce programs or wearing apparel for your school that does not appear on this list, please refer them to Kelly Rutledge, krutledge@ihsa.org, at the IHSA office. She will help them complete the process to become an IHSA Licensed Vendor.

Attention Prospective Vendors:

THE IHSA IS CURRENTLY ACCEPTING LICENSED VENDOR APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2007-08 SCHOOL TERM. PLEASE SEND THE REQUESTED INFORMATION TO ANTHONY HOLMAN NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2007 TO BE CONSIDERED.

Vendors must be licensed by the IHSA if they wish to utilize any IHSA marks and/or logos. Member schools must use IHSA licensed vendors to produce any publications and/or merchandise for IHSA State Series Events. The IHSA limits the number of licensed vendors in the state, therefore giving those granted licenses less competition.

IHSA Licensed Vendors pay an annual licensing fee of $500. In conjunction, a five-percent royalty of the gross advertising sales in publications and an eight-percent royalty of the gross revenue in merchandise are paid to the IHSA.

Licensed print and/or merchandise vendors will not be able to produce State Final products or merchandise. Minerva Sportswear is the exclusive IHSA State Final merchandise provider.

All (merchandise) products will need to bear an “Officially Licensed IHSA Product” label/tag. This will serve as an identifier for consumers that the product is being sold by a vendor authorized by the IHSA. The IHSA will provide the labels/tags to all licensed vendors (you are not responsible for producing or ordering them).

In order to help determine licenses, the IHSA is requiring additional information from each prospective vendor. Please provide us with the following information:

• A list of school(s) you have worked with in the past
• Product Samples
• Business References
• A list of items you intend to produce bearing IHSA marks
• Sales Reports for the 2006-07 school year
• Completed Application (click here for application)

If any of the above information does not pertain to your company, please note that on your response.

If you are interested in becoming a licensed vendor for the IHSA, please send the above information to Anthony Holman. The information will be reviewed and further information will be sent to you at that time. If you have further questions, please contact Anthony Holman.
