Sponsorship of events
While events can be very successful without it, sponsorship can play a vital role in supporting networking events and strengthening partnerships in the legal community. If desired, events can be sponsored by law firms or a third party upon approval by the Section Registrar. The Section Registrars reserve the right to reject a proposed sponsorship should it not meet one or more of the guidelines below, or it is otherwise deemed inappropriate.
Sponsorship Guidelines: Sponsors should not have a conflict of interest with the purposes of the CBA or any of the organizations that the CBA is affiliated or partnered with. The CBA does not grant exclusivity to any specific firm or third-party sponsor. If a Section hosts multiple events requiring sponsorship, Executive members are encouraged to approach a diversity of sponsors to ensure fair and equitable sponsorship opportunities for all interested parties.
Law Firm Sponsorship: Law firms have the option to contribute as in-kind sponsors by providing meeting space or may choose to offer cash sponsorship.
3rd Party Sponsorship: Vendors may choose to offer cash sponsorship.
Sponsorship of CCCA Events: Due to the high demand for sponsorship of CCCA Section events (either in-kind with meeting space, or in cash), sponsorship of CCCA events is limited to CBA Partner firms where applicable. Refer to the Section Registrars for a current list of Partner firms.
Number of Sponsors: The number of sponsors for each event will be at the discretion of the Section Executive and the Section Registrars. Sections should consider the size and type of event, as well as sponsor benefits available when determining the number of sponsorships.
Sponsorship Benefits: Sponsorship benefits may include branding and logo visibility at the event, acknowledgment in the event notice and marketing materials, speaking opportunities, and complimentary registrations. Exact sponsor benefits will vary based on the value of the sponsorship and guidance provided by the Section Registrars.
Sponsorship Funds: The sponsorship funds must be mutually agreed upon before the Section event.
