Mills & Associates maintains active membership in the Trucking Industry Defense Association, also known as TIDA. TIDA, which was founded in 1993, is a non profit association whose members share knowledge and resources in defense of the trucking industry. TIDA members include motor carriers, trucking insurers, defense attorneys and claims servicing companies.
This year, the TIDA held its 19th Annual Industry Seminar in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 12, 2011
through October14, 2011. TIDA members kicked off this year’s meeting by participating in a community service outreach event at Three Square. Three Square serves as the primary distribution center for donated goods to charitable organizations serving individuals and families in the Las Vegas area. Three Square’s mission is to “provide wholesome food to hungry people, while passionately pursuing a hunger-free community.”
TIDA members from across the country rolled up their sleeves to make a difference. The attendees sorted and packaged boxes of food and supplies for delivery to local charities serving the Las Vegas population impacted by the economic downturn. In addition, TIDA members packaged nutritious lunches for distribution to school age children. TIDA members boxed several tons of food and packed over 3,000 lunches.
Mills & Associates, led by Michael C. Mills, attended this event in full force including attorneys, paralegals and staff to contribute toward this worthy cause. TIDA, its staff and members should be commended for giving back to the community and serving as an example for other organizations to follow. We thank Three Squares for allowing us the opportunity to serve the Las Vegas community.
