SEATA Corporate Partnership Committee Needs Your Help

With the 2010 SEATA Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposium just around the corner we are still working on getting new vendors/exhibitors to join us in Panama City Beach.   I think with the return to this location and hotel and as much fun that we had last year we should have a very successful meeting.  I would like to Thank our Corporate Partners, Gatorade, Bauerfeind,  and Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center.

Please submit any new companies in your area (especially in South Georgia, South Alabama and Florida) who could become a new exhibitor or have them contact me at the address given.  Please support our exhibitors, especially our Corporate Partners, as they help in making our SEATA Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposium the great success that it has become.
