2 Dear Valued Partners of the South Carolina Defense Trial Attorneys Association, The South Carolina Defense Trial Attorneys Association is in our 51st year and remains committed to is mission of promoting justice, professionalism, and integrity in our civil justice system. The Association does this by bringing together attorneys dedicated to the defense of civil actions over the course of a year for continuing legal education seminars and other events. The Association boasts nearly 1000 individual members in over 100 law firms throughout South Carolina. Past presidents and board members of the Association have gone on to lead national and international defense organizations including the ABA, DRI, IADC, FDCC and the ADTA. The SCDTAA is one of the leading state defense organizations in the nation and provides our sponsors an excellent opportunity to reach our membership. One of the primary reasons for our continued success is our ability to offer excellent programming in fabulous venues. This would not be feasible without the support of our sponsors. There are numerous opportunities to sponsor events throughout the year. Our highest levels of sponsorship are reserved for a select few partners and include opportunities to speak at either our Summer or Annual Meetings for up to 60 minutes. We encourage our Board and members to use the services of our sponsors to make sure your support of our organization is beneficial to you as well. As you review our sponsorship opportunities, I m confident you will find a place that works for your company to connect with our members. As an organization led by leaders of many of the law firms in this state, we appreciate the costs of sponsorship and the importance of allocating marketing dollars in a strategic way with an eye towards relationship building as well as a return on investment. Partnering with the SCDTAA achieves both of these goals. Our sponsors are encouraged to participate in the social and recreational activities at our meetings as we have found that these opportunities also afford our sponsors and members with the opportunity to network and build meaningful relationships. The SCDTAA benefits from consistent participation from many of the same sponsors year after year. This speaks to the return on the investment as well as the relationship building that we know is critical to you. Again, thank you for your continued support of the SCDTAA and I look forward to seeing you in Jamie Hood President, SCDTAA
