Sponsor an Event

The SMBA proudly acknowledges our sponsors upon whose support we are able to bring the community together in ever increasing ways, making it accessible and affordable for every member of our community.

We are pleased to announce that the SMBA is now offering sponsorship for its 2024 events. We realize that you may plan your budgets annually, well in advance of our events, and want to provide you with ample notice of upcoming sponsorship opportunities.

As you know, your sponsorship of our events is essential to the financial success of our organization and allows you to remind our members of your valuable services. More specifically, by sponsoring our events, you can access an array of marketing and advertising options for your organization. From logos and click-through links on our digital announcements, oral and written recognition at our events, to links on our website, you reach close to 2000 recipients. As our association grows and our events continue to increase in popularity, a larger audience will become available to you.

The SMBA will be hosting annual events with available sponsorships including: Judges’ Night; The Summer Party; and The Fall Installation Dinner. In addition to these annual events, we have sponsorships available for events throughout the year including our quarterly networking mixers (Tuesday Toasts) and monthly MCLEs. If you have any questions, or would like further information about any of the available sponsorships, please feel free to contact us at santamonicabarassociation@gmail.com.
