Sponsorship

Are you looking for ways to promote your organization or firm to leaders in the field of higher education law? NACUA sponsorship provides your organization or firm with a unique opportunity to promote your services to decision makers while demonstrating your strong support for the practice of higher education law. Sponsors become part of a community that is dedicated to supporting the Association’s mission: to advance the effective practice of higher education attorneys for the benefit of the colleges and universities they serve. By serving as a sponsor of the association’s programs, you fulfill the critical need of keeping attendee costs reasonable, while delivering high-quality programming.

Year-Round Opportunities

Exclusive sponsorship opportunities are available for several of NACUA’s popular virtual programs, including webinars (9-11 annually) and briefings (7-10 annually), as well as NACUA's recently revamped career center.

Annual Conference

This is the association’s largest gathering, featuring more than 90 sessions on a variety of legal issues and many networking events. This very popular and highly-rated event offers practitioners of higher education law the opportunity to expand their knowledge and build an essential network of resources, contacts, and friends.

Attendee Profile: All attendees at the NACUA Annual Conference are attorneys. Most attendees are NACUA members, but those nonmember attorneys that do attend must be endorsed by a representative at a NACUA member institution to attend. Most attendees are in-house general counsel. More than half of attendees tend to be from large institutions (enrollment of 15,000 or above).

Attendance: 1,750 – 2,000
