Opportunities to support NYUL’s work range from single tickets or virtual tables to sponsoring a “conversation” during the Summit. These curated conversations will courageously examine race relations and give an honest critique of the response and responsibility going forward to the civil unrest that has swept the nation. CEOs or Diversity Officers of corporate-level Champion Sponsors are invited to provide a 2-minute opening and use their 20 access tickets for their employees or to be given to NYUL Young Professionals. Get involved now while we are still finalizing our program! Sponsorship packages are $12.500, $15,000 and $25,000 for the Glass Ceiling Breaker, Salute to the Honorees and Champion Sponsorships.
