2010 BLI Sponsors 

Thank you to the sponsors of the 2010 Bar Leadership Institute. Learn more about these exciting companies and organizations

The ABA Standing Committee on Bar Activities and Services along with the Division for Bar Services invite you to become a corporate sponsor of the Bar Leadership Institute (BLI).  This program offers each sponsor the opportunity to reach over 300 bar leaders during the BLI as well as opportunities to reach the extended bar association community.  

This annual event is a "must attend" for bar association presidents-elect and other officers on the presidential ladder.  Executive directors are encouraged to accompany their elected leaders.  The experience provides a valuable opportunity for the bar's leadership team to learn together and begin to strategically plan for year ahead.

To learn more about the meeting, including who attends, please see the BLI Meeting Profile for Sponsors.pdf. To find out what you get for your sponsorship dollars, see the BLI sponsorship levels outlined below or download the BLI Sponsor Benefits.pdf.
