The record breaking attendance at CLE events this past season demonstrates that our programs and speakers continue to attract an ever increasing and diverse audience. CLE’s wide range of programs and events offers a learning experience for everyone. It is no exaggeration to state that no other small town in America presents the quality and quantity of programs that CLE hosts each year.

To recruit these impressive speakers, CLE must provide an honorarium and travel expenses. Depending on the speaker, these expenses may reach upwards of $1000 or more.

For the last several seasons, CLE has encouraged its members to sponsor presenters. The cost of a sponsorship starts at $500 These sponsorship dollars defray the direct costs of presenter expenses and allow CLE to maintain a modest cost to attend our presentations. Sponsors are recognized in CLE’s printed program series, and sponsors are invited to join the speaker for lunch or dinner with a CLE Board Member.

CLE is beginning to develop its 2025 program series, and CLE already has commitments from a number of outstanding speakers. If you are interested in sponsoring a speaker for 2025, please email office@clehighlands.com.
