Dear Industry Partners and Friends,

Thank you so much for your interest in supporting our conference, our

organization, and our members. We value these very important

rela-tionships.

The Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA) is having

their 13th annual national fall meeting November 12-15, 2015 at the

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando, Florida. The previous time we

had our conference at this location, it sold out. This location plus our

track record of top-notch, cutting edge events will be a great reason to

support us for this event.

The SDPA is the primary professional organization representing

physi-cian assistants (PAs) who specialize in dermatology and we are able to

claim the largest membership of any PA specialty group. Our primary

goal is to promote the education and training of PAs in dermatology.

Due to the new health care changes, more patients will be seeking

dermatologic care. Because of this, the utilization and employment of

PAs in dermatology is rapidly increasing.

This conference will offer your organization multiple partnership

op-portunities, detailed in the following pages. As we mentioned above,

our meetings have a great reputation and they are the reason PAs in

dermatology consider our meetings the premier events to attend.

Your presence and partnering at this meeting will provide unparalleled

access to dermatology PAs as well as showcasing your company’s

support for the dermatologist-PA team. Our high quality meetings

coupled with a great location and venue will ensure you have a great

return on your investment. We look forward to seeing you in the fall of

2015 in Orlando, Florida for yet another outstanding event!

Sincerely,

Vicki Roberts, MPAS, PA-C
