The South Dakota Trucking Association (SDTA) hosts three legislative receptions throughout the year, providing our members with valuable opportunities to engage directly with state legislators, strengthen relationships, and discuss key issues affecting the trucking industry. These well-attended events attract top professionals and industry leaders, making them an excellent venue for building impactful partnerships.

We are pleased to offer two sponsorship opportunities that cover all three of these receptions:

$500 Sponsorship: Your company will be showcased as a main sponsor setting you apart as a leading supporter of the SDTA and their advocacy efforts. (Option to speak at SDTA November or February Board Meeting in person or via Zoom, only 2 spots available)
$250 Sponsorship: Your company’s name will be displayed on all event materials, highlighting your support of SDTA and our efforts to influence state policies that affect the trucking industry.

Join us as a sponsor and help shape the future of the South Dakota trucking industry!
