3 Introduction The Board of Directors of WMACCA is pleased to present the 2008 WMACCA Sponsorship Program. WMACCA is the largest regional bar association for in-house counsel in the United States and the largest chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC). With approximately 1,500 members from more than 500 corporations and private-sector organizations, WMACCA provides vital professional services to a rising in-house bar in the District of Columbia, the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, and suburban Maryland. Our membership is drawn from almost all of the major companies, non-profits, and private-sector organizations in our service area. WMACCA is very proud to be the premier provider of continuing legal education and networking opportunities for the in-house legal community. Annually, we offer more than 60 educational programs that provide inhouse counsel with the tools needed to advise their clients. The Appendices to this document include a list of WMACCA s 2007 leaders, notable programs from , and a list of the companies represented in the WMACCA membership. WMACCA s parent organization, ACC is the in-house bar association, with more than 20,000 members at 8,800 organizations in 57 countries around the world. The 2008 WMACCA Sponsorship Program provides ways for your organization to effectively partner with WMACCA and support our many programs, events, and initiatives. This Sponsorship Program represents some refinements of the 2007 Program, but follows a similar structure. We believe that the Program serves both WMACCA s needs for sponsorship support and our sponsors interest in having strong visibility with our membership. Significant Features of the 2008 Sponsorship Program The 2008 Sponsorship Program provides a robust bundle of benefits with excellent visibility for sponsors. Specifically: Most categories of sponsorship are annual sponsorships of WMACCA, rather than being tied to a particular event or program. We give our sponsors high-profile recognition by utilizing our Web page, quarterly newsletter, and membership directory, as well as the publications and other collateral associated with the Corporate Counsel Awards Reception. All categories of sponsorship are available to law firms, services vendors, and corporations. We have expanded the Forum Sponsorship category to provide for Sponsorships of all of our substantive specialty committees (which we call Forums). These Sponsorships will be awarded after review of a brief questionnaire to make sure we have a good fit between the sponsor and the Forum s mission. We have introduced one new category of sponsorships to support our new Webstreaming of WMACCA CLE programs. Sponsorship fees include a specific donation to the WMACCA Corporate Scholars Program charitable foundation. 1

4 Recognizing that, in 2007, there was a big jump in the fees associated with our sponsorships, we have in most categories maintained the prices for (Where there were increases, they were of a much smaller magnitude than in 2007.) We believe that our sponsorships offer great value, given the significant bundle of benefits we offer and the terms of the sponsorship programs of the other comparable ACC chapters (SoCal, San Francisco, Chicago, Greater New York, and New Jersey). Given our status as the largest regional in-house bar association, we believe that we are the best deal in town for reaching in-house counsel in our service area. Procedure All sponsorship applicants are required to complete a Sponsorship Application form. Those who wish to sponsor a Forum must also complete a separate Questionnaire for Forum Sponsorship Applicants. We strongly urge you to either FAX ( ) or (WMACCA@verizon.net) a PDFattachment of the Application form(s). Applications will be given priority based on when they are received. Sponsors will be formally notified within one (1) week after the Sponsorship Application is received. Sponsorships will be held open until they are sold out. Based on past experience, we expect to sell out most (if not all) of the sponsorships. If the Sponsorship level you are interested in includes recognition in the 2008 WMACCA membership directory, we must have your Sponsorship Application no later than January 11, 2008, in order to make our publication deadline. Payment in full of the sponsorship fee must then be received by January 15, 2008, or within thirty (30) days of notification of the Sponsorship award, whichever occurs later, unless other arrangements are made with the WMACCA Executive Director. 2

These include: 1. WMACCA Corporate Counsel Awards Reception: Since 1999, WMACCA has held an annual reception for in-house counsel and sponsors which has blossomed into the top networking event for in-house counsel in the region. In celebration of WMACCA s 25 th anniversary in 2005, we inaugurated the Corporate Counsel Awards to help us celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of the in-house bar and recognize some of the best in-house lawyers and departments in our region. Over the past three years, the reception has been even more successful that we had hoped, attracting record attendance from the in-house, legal, and business communities, and the Awards have become the premier honor for in-house counsel. The reception is designed to maximize opportunities for networking and we believe that has been the key to its success. Each sponsorship category includes a number of tickets for attendees to the reception, as well as recognition in the various sponsor recognition features we produce in conjunction with the Reception (an advertorial supplement in the Washington Business Journal, the Awards Reception program, the Awards slide show, and the Sponsor poster board). Our 4 th Annual reception will be held in 2008 (exact date and location to be determined). 2. General Counsel Forum Luncheon: Since 1997, WMACCA has brought together a panel of 4-5 General Counsel from leading local companies and organizations that represent the diversity of 9

12 WMACCA membership in terms of type of industry, size of company, and size of department, for a roundtable discussion of how they got to the CLO seat, what the hot-button issues are on their desks, how they recruit, manage and motivate their staff, and what they want and need from their outside counsel. The discussion has been candid, and both in-house and outside counsel value the insights provided. All sponsorship categories provide two tickets to this luncheon program. This is also one of our best-attended luncheon programs, providing valuable networking opportunities. The luncheon will take place in June Educational Programs: WMACCA is the preeminent provider in this region of CLE programs geared to the practice needs and interests of in-house counsel. From September through June of each year, we put on more than 60 CLE programs, most of which provide Virginia Bar MCLE credit. Programs are held in all the jurisdictions that we service in D.C., Virginia and Maryland, and are also provided by distance-learning methods to ensure the broadest possible accessibility for our membership. Our monthly schedule includes one signature program (either at breakfast or lunch) on a topic of broad interest to our membership, featuring a high-level panel. We also hold two or three breakfast or late-afternoon programs on topics of more focused interest. In addition, our specialty substantive committees the WMACCA Forums present two or three programs per month on issues of significant and immediate concern to their constituencies. WMACCA prides itself on providing programs on cutting-edge topics and practical approaches that are of special value to in-house counsel. The Diamond and Emerald level sponsorships include presenting a program for WMACCA, and the Forum Sponsorships include presenting a program for Forum participants. The Webstreaming Sponsorship also includes presenting a breakfast or late afternoon program and being able to archive two additional programs. Please note: There are many opportunities for organizations sponsoring WMACCA at other levels to present programs, even though we do not guarantee a program with the other sponsorship categories. 4. Other Programs and Events: WMACCA is constantly innovating new programs and events to get more members involved. Below, we list the programs or types of programs that are included in some of the Sponsorship levels: Smaller, informal networking opportunities. WMACCA Mini-Executive MBA. This program would be a full-day CLE on important business issues that in-house counsel need to understand to properly counsel their clients. We would partner with a local MBA program or major firm to present this content. WMACCA Young Lawyer Symposium. This program was inaugurated in It provided a valuable opportunity for junior lawyers from area law firms to learn what inhouse counsel need from outside counsel and how best to provide that service. WMACCA Community Service or Outreach Event. For the past three years, WMACCA has participated in the National Public Lands Day park clean-up event at Great Falls Park in Virginia. In 2007, we participated in a number of other service projects (Potomac River Watershed Cleanup Day, Greater D.C. Cares Servathon, Lawyers Have Heart 10k Run). We will continue to provide public service or outreach opportunities for our members, as a way of giving back to the community and providing informal opportunities to get to know their in-house colleagues. 5. WMACCA Directory: Each year, WMACCA publishes a membership directory that is a valuable resource for our members. The easy-to-use desk book is mailed to all members of 10

13 WMACCA. It contains listings of all WMACCA volunteer leaders, an alphabetical listing of all chapter members, and a listing of members by employer. WMACCA sends out monthly updates of changes and new members to ensure that the book remains current and useful. It is a resource that members retain and refer to all year long. Please note: We cannot provide a copy of the directory to sponsors because it contains proprietary membership data. This is a strict policy set forth by ACC. 6. WMACCA Web Page: WMACCA s Web page will include advertisements on the home page for certain categories of sponsors. In addition, there will be a general Sponsors page that will list all sponsors, with a link to the Sponsor s Web page. Forum/Initiative sponsors will receive recognition on the Web page for the Forum/Initiative they sponsor. 7. WMACCA Focus Newsletter: Each quarter, WMACCA publishes a newsletter, which is mailed to all WMACCA members. The Diamond sponsor will have the opportunity to publish a four-page article in the newsletter, while the Emerald sponsors will each have the opportunity to publish a two-page article. Sponsors are expected to work closely with the WMACCA Executive Director when preparing these articles. The articles also will be posted on the WMACCA Web page. The Sponsorship Program is also designed to provide significant funding for the WMACCA Corporate Scholars Program. WMACCA created the Corporate Scholars Program in 2004 to introduce students from the law schools in the D.C. metro area to in-house practice as a career option and to develop a diversity pipeline of future in-house lawyers. The Corporate Scholars Program provides summer internship opportunities to law school students at WMACCA-member companies and organizations. In addition, it provides a scholarship grant to the students. Seed money for the program was provided in 2004 and 2005 by grants from the Minority Corporate Counsel Association, supplemented by proceeds from WMACCA s sponsored networking events. We have built into each sponsorship a specific donation to the charitable foundation that funds the scholarships, allowing our Sponsors to play a role in this important program.
