2023 Gala Sponsor Guide
We hope to see you in Chicago for Elevating Justice, NELA’s 2023 Convention and Gala. On Friday evening, June 30 (8:00–11:00 p.m.), we will gather to toast another inspiring year of strong advocacy for workers and to celebrate the accomplishments of our members, including those we are honoring this year for their distinguished service to our community. The Awards Ceremony will take place on Thursday, June 29 at 5:15 p.m. and is included in Convention registration. The Friday evening Gala is a separate ticketed event and includes music, dancing, and sweet and savory snacks.
Each Gala attendee will receive two complimentary drink tickets courtesy of Dundon Advisers LLC.
Please join us as a Gala sponsor to make NELA an even stronger and more influential force for working people and their advocates. Your support will reinforce our mission of empowering workers’ rights attorneys through legal training, promoting a fair judiciary, and advocating for laws and policies that level the playing field for workers. Proceeds fuel our national community as we develop new CLEs and other knowledge- and careerbuilding opportunities and bolster NELA’s committees, practice groups, and affiliates. Your Gala sponsorship also ensures that NELA’s voice is heard on significant workers’ rights issues in our nation’s capital and its courtrooms.
