2017 TASC Board Retreat Sponsorship Opportunities
May 21-24, 2017
Madren Conference Center
230 Madren Center Drive
Clemson, SC 29631
This year we will gather for our annual Board of Directors retreat and have a few great opportunities to include our business partners through meeting sponsorships and boardroom presentations. We understand that our business partners need more than a once-a-year conference to meet the leaders of SC’s public transportation industry.
This sponsorship/presentation approach is helpful because TASC benefits from learning about new products/services. Meanwhile, companies can meet with more systems vs. traveling city-to-city. We need you to share your expertise and expose us to new products and new designs. We need you to talk to use about changes in the market and be a resource base for us as well as a business partner. It also helps us generate new revenue to maintain our push into the political arena and establish consistent management of the organization. It also creates a unique opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to capture the attention of statewide transportation leaders at one place and at one time.
We have representation from every corner of the state and we have major transportation systems in the room. This an opportunity to build relationships with decision makers from all across South Carolina.

If your sponsorship level includes a display or advertisements, TASC will contact you for materials and graphics to be prepared in advance of the retreat. Please note you must make your own travel arrangements. The James F. Martin Inn at the Madren Conference Center is the retreat hotel.
