Harvard Law School (HLS) invites you to sponsor Celebration of Black Alumni (CBA), a worldwide leadership conference that honors black alumni that graduated from HLS. CBA will host HLS alumni who are leaders in law, business, finance, academia, government, non-profits, media, and the arts, among other fields, as well as current students. Past speakers have included Supreme Court justices, members of Congress, and prominent general counsels and business executives. CBA attendees will participate in panels and keynote addresses to discuss current issues in the law and beyond. Past Celebration events were some of the largest alumni events in HLS history, and we’re excited for yet another successful conference. 

Your tax-deductible sponsorship will proclaim your support for black leaders in the law, as well as for HLS and will give sponsors visibility (in-person and online) and access to a select group of accomplished alumni and current students with diverse affiliations.
