Western Academic Leadership Forum Sidebar
Sponsorship Opportunities for WICHE’s Academic Partnerships
WICHE’s Academic Partnerships incorporate two interstate membership groups in the western region.
- The Forum is comprised of higher education leaders at four-year institutions. The Forum Annual Meeting is taking place April 1-3, 2026 at University of New Mexico.
- The Alliance is comprised of higher education leaders at two-year institutions. The Alliance Annual Meeting is taking place April 15-17, 2026 at Laramie County Community College.
Throughout the year, we bring together communities of senior academic leaders who engage in dialogue around contemporary challenges facing colleges and universities. Our highly rated in-person annual meetings and online forums lend themselves to collaboration, innovation, and problem solving around pressing issues in higher education while also facilitating opportunities for professional development. Your contribution will fund vital conversations and idea-sharing amongst leaders in higher education for a full year (July 1st-June 30th).
We are committed to conferring value to both our members and our sponsors. If you have questions or ideas about how to maximize the benefits of sponsorship, please contact our team, and we are happy to put together a custom proposal for you.
Sponsor both the Alliance and the Forum for a 10% discount!
