@SCEDA As part of the program, each attendee received a copy of Mark Williams’ book, Corporate Site Selection and Economic Development, to continue their professional growth beyond the event. We look forward to supporting more opportunities like this in the future.

@SCEDA James Chavez shared insights during his session, “Lessons from an Old Man” (his title, not ours!), and Caroline Warner did an outstanding job leading and organizing the event.

A few of our team members had the privilege of being part of the @SCEDA Emerging Leaders Forum last week, which the South Carolina Power Team was proud to sponsor. It was a fantastic opportunity to invest in and engage with the next generation of economic development leaders.
