Sponsorship

Are you looking for ways to promote your organization or firm to leaders in 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.
