The Legislative Reception has become a longtime AENC tradition consistently attracting a large crowd of legislators and executive and judicial branch officials. The pandemic paused this tradition for the last couple years and now in 2022 we are able to come back together for this special event!

Sponsorship of the AENC Legislative Reception provides your organization a unique recognition opportunity among North Carolina’s leading trade and professional association leaders, and offers you and your members and/or clients a great opportunity to interact with members of the General Assembly and elected state officials, Council of State, Supreme and Appellate Court Judges.

If you cannot participate as a full sponsor, you have the option to purchase individual non-sponsor tickets using the above sponsorship form.

Location:

*NEW LOCATION for 2022* Nature Exploration Center at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences; 11 West Jones Street Raleigh, NC 27601 (Across from the NC General Assembly)

Benefits of Sponsorship

Each sponsor receives 8 tickets to attend the Legislative Reception along with 8 clearly identified sponsor name badges. Sponsors will be listed on the invitation to legislators (as long as you book before the deadline) and on sponsor signage at the event. Sponsors will be listed in all pre-event promotion via website and weekly update email.

Connect face to face with lawmakers and other state government leaders.
Promote your organization and the role it plays in North Carolina.
