A Legacy in Motion: The Story of Scarritt Group

Scarritt Group didn’t start with a business plan—it started with something personal.

Since 1999: A Singular Focus

  • Scarritt Group was founded with one mission: to elevate the role of Investigator Meetings in clinical research.
  • Today, we average 300 meetings annually—not just events, but the very heart of our company’s identity.

A Personal Catalyst

  • Our President, Adrienne Williams, was inspired by her father, Winthrop “Tuck” Williams.
  • Tuck’s participation in a clinical trial for Parkinson’s disease transformed his quality of life.
  • This experience ignited Adrienne’s commitment to advance medical research by supporting the people behind it.

Why Investigator Meetings Matter

  • They are not simply touchpoints in a clinical trial.
  • They are where science meets humanity—where the potential for new therapies is unlocked, one conversation at a time.

Why ‘Scarritt’? A Name With Purpose

  • Nathan Scarritt, Adrienne’s great-great-great-grandfather, was a 19th-century Methodist minister and suffragist.
  • In Kansas, he championed women’s right to vote, working alongside Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
  • He organized rallies, funded campaigns, and helped secure the passage of the 1912 Kansas suffrage amendment.
  • In 1875, he and his wife Amelia founded the Nashville Female College, a bold step toward women’s higher education—later part of Vanderbilt University.

More Than Meetings

  • We don’t just plan events—we support mission-driven work across:
    • Clinical trials
    • Patient services
    • Global logistics
  • Our purpose is rooted in empathy, science, and impact.

The Journey of Growth

  • Over 25 years, Scarritt Group has evolved to serve:
    • Multiple industries
    • Clients across six continents
  • We’ve become a trusted global partner, yet our mission remains personal and precise.
