Sponsorship Opportunities

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 career-building 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.
