7TH ANNUAL ELMER LUCILLE ALLEN CONFERENCE ON AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The African American Studies program at Spalding University is hosting the 7th Annual Elmer Lucille Allen Conference on African American Studies on February 18-19th, 2025. This hybrid (virtual and in-person) Conference honors the legacy of one of Spalding University’s first African American graduates, going back to the days of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, the women’s college that is now Spalding. Allen went on the become the first African American Chemist to work for the storied Brown-Forman company here in Louisville. It is my pleasure, as the Director of African American Studies at Spalding University, to invite local business owners, grassroots organizations, and programs focused on the upliftment of Black people to purchase sponsorships for this year’s Conference.  

Our Conference Program will feature advertisements which our attendees will can take home with them and be able to patronize your business, services, or programming. Advertisements may be purchased by the Whole Page ($100), Half Page ($50), or Quarter Page ($25). We anticipate over 100 virtual and in-person attendees, along with dozens of presenters – which equals high visibility for your organization.

The deadline for sponsorships for the Seventh Annual Elmer Lucille Allen Conference is 11:59pm Friday, February 10th. Any sponsorship submissions that come in after the deadline will go towards next year’s Conference. We will not be able to include sponsors who submit after the deadline in our Conference program for this year.
