THE DETAILS
Confirmed sponsors will receive a Sponsorship packet with details of both ACC Austin, and sponsor’s responsibilities, including requested timelines for completion. Event details must be confirmed and shared with the Executive Director no later than 45 days prior to the event. PLEASE NOTE: ACC Austin reserves the right to cancel the event without refund of the Sponsorship fee if all event details are not agreed within sufficient time to market and plan the event.
ACC Austin strongly encourages sponsors to include in-house attorneys in events involving panel discussions and will assist sponsors in identifying potential in-house panelist(s). ACC Austin endeavors to present speakers and panelists who are representative of the diversity of the Austin in-house legal community. We ask that our sponsors ensure that the speakers and panelists they select include representation across the minimum categories of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Diversity across categories beyond those mentioned is encouraged.
Additional Information
Term and Fee: The term of a Sponsorship under the 2025 Program is from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. All sponsored events must be held during this term and will not roll over. All Sponsorship fees are due by January 31, 2025. ACC Austin reserves the right to add additional Sponsorship categories but will only do so as not to conflict with the current Sponsorship categories.
CLE: Because our membership is diverse and in-house counsel may practice in-house in Texas without being a member of the Texas Bar, ACC Austin requests that Sponsors consider CLE requirements of other jurisdictions so that CLE credit may be secured in other states, such as:
- Providing an agenda that sets forth the time for the program
- Providing speaker biography summaries
- Providing written materials (electronic materials are sufficient)
- Including legal citations and references such as case law, statutes, and legislation.
The most well-attended CLE events explore topics that tend to be trouble spots commonly faced by our membership, such as contracts or transaction disputes, newly evolving technology laws, and multijurisdictional practice issues. If needed, please request a list of suggested CLE topics gleaned from our members’ interest.
Attendance: Complimentary registrations to attend the ACC Austin events per this agreement may be used by members of your firm or provided to your in-house clients.
Use of Fees: ACC Austin may elect to support other not-for-profit organizations in Central Texas through Sponsorships, purchases of tables at fundraising events, direct donations or similar activities. Past recipients have included Texas Access to Justice and Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas.
On behalf of members of the chapter, the Board of ACC Austin thanks you for your support.
If you have any questions, please contact our Executive Director at austin@accglobal.com.
Sincerely,
Board of Directors
