Advertising in NHBA Publications & Sponsorship Opportunities

The NHBA, while a nonprofit organization, nevertheless has an ongoing obligation to its members to maintain fiscal health. The Bar Association brings in a significant amount of operating revenue throughout the year through a variety of CLE programs it offers. The NHBA has also entered into (or plans to enter into) significant, mutually beneficial relationships with other organizations, including a number of preferred vendors and exclusive providers. In order for the NHBA to continue to thrive, it is important that these arrangements not be jeopardized.

With this in mind, the NHBA reserves the right to review – and reject, where appropriate – advertising submitted to one or more of its publications on the basis of reasonable concerns that the proposed advertising may compete with the NHBA’s own products and/or that said advertising could materially interfere with any existing or planned relationships it has with other organizations. For instance, the NHBA reserves the right to decline advertising for a program that is considered in direct competition with a NHBA CLE program. “Direct competition” includes, but is not limited to, such characteristics as subject matter, audience, event date, and pricing.

When advertisements for outside paid CLE programs are deemed not to be in direct competition with NHBA’s offerings, regular advertising rates will ordinarily apply. (Courts, local and county bar associations, and other nonprofit organizations promoting a free (no-cost) CLE may request to have advertising fees waived.)

Advertisers are encouraged to contact the NHBA prior to submitting their advertising message if they have any question on whether the ad may be accepted for publication.
