Program Brochure (PDF, 2.18 MB)

The South Carolina Association of Counties Corporate Partners Program offers companies a way to market your company, both efficiently and cost-effectively, to South Carolina’s 46 counties! The SCAC Corporate Partner Program provides a comprehensive marketing opportunity to showcase your products and services directly to county leaders. The program also offers companies year-round exposure to county officials and employees at multiple SCAC events and in the Association’s monthly newsletter, quarterly magazine and annual directory.

Access

If you are looking for ways to build and strengthen relationships with county governments, this program is for you. As an SCAC Corporate Partner, you will be able to maintain contact with county officials throughout the year. You will also be updated on trends in county government and legislative initiatives.

Cost Effective

This “one stop shop” approach will minimize costs and make it easier to budget because you will be able to support the SCAC as a Partner at one of four levels. Still, “a la carte” options will remain available if you choose to advertise in SCAC publications.

SCAC Corporate Partner Endorsement Policy

Participation as an SCAC Corporate Partner shall not imply, nor be considered or presented as, an endorsement by SCAC of any service or product provided by the company. The SCAC Board of Directors reserves the right, for cause shown, to disapprove an application, or terminate an existing participation. Use of SCAC logos, the words “SCAC” and “South Carolina Association of Counties” without the prior authorization and express written permission of SCAC, is prohibited.
