Corporate Partner Circle benefits and recognition are provided for companies providing support at the $100,000 (Ruby level) and above for three consecutive years or a three-year commitment. Membership in the Academy's Corporate Partner Circle is the highest level of recognition given to a corporation by the Academy.

The Academy created a special Corporate Partner Circle logo, which companies may use after receiving approval from the AAD.

Guidelines and policies

The Academy restricts the usage of its logo and restricts recognizing support via pharmaceutical brand names. The Academy wishes to avoid a perceived endorsement. Additional guidelines and policies with relation to supporting the Academy may apply and additional information on them may be found in the Corporate Relations Governance Policies and Guidelines Handbook.
