Chamber of Commerce.

Recognizing the South Carolina 2013 Power Players

F r o m t h e P r e s i d e n t

The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce’s legislative victories

are made possible by business leaders who recognize the value

of investing in the work we do on their behalf. Many businesses

choose to invest in the South Carolina Chamber at exceptional

levels. These companies are part of the Pinnacle of Leadership program, the

Chamber’s highest level of commitment, and make an annual investment of

$5,000 or more. Each Pinnacle company has its own reasons for investing at

such an outstanding level, but they all share a common goal: They want to

make South Carolina a better place to do business.

I hope you will take a look at this publication and recognize the

tremendous commitment these companies have made to improving South

Carolina. These businesses not only provide financial support, but also enable

their employees to offer their time and expertise to help the Chamber in a

variety of ways. They serve on our board and committees, provide input

towards our annual legislative agenda and contact legislators to urge passage

of pro-business legislation.

Without the dedication of these organizations, the Chamber would

not have achieved the legislative successes it has over the years, including

passing comprehensive tort reform, workers’ compensation reform and

unemployment insurance tax relief for employers. All of these achievements

will save South Carolina businesses millions of dollars. When you see fellow

business leaders from the Pinnacle of Leadership, please take the time to thank

them for their investment in South Carolina’s business community.

As I travel South Carolina to meet with business leaders, talk to various

organizations and participate in board meetings, I regularly tout the support

our Pinnacle of Leadership members provide. In order to continue to grow

economic development opportunities in South Carolina and maintain our

state’s pro-business environment, we need to grow our Pinnacle of Leadership

program so the Chamber can build relationships with dynamic, influential

companies like the ones listed in this publication. I encourage you to join

the Pinnacle of Leadership. Together, we can make South Carolina a leading

destination for businesses on a global level.

W hat is the business climate in South Carolina?We get that question quite often. Our clients

look to us as a barometer of the business climate in the state. Although we have no pat answer, we do see plenty of reasons to be positive.

The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, along with other key business leaders, has promoted job growth as a leading indicator. At Dixon Hughes Goodman, we are doing our part to recruit and retain top accounting talent. We have added a number of CPAs in our offices from the Upstate to the Lowcountry. As a

firm, we were recently recognized by Accounting Today magazine as being among the fastest growing firms in the U.S and as the largest firm headquartered in the Southeast. We are especially proud of our Leadership College which enrolls over 200 interns annually from the top universities. Many of these interns will join our firm upon graduation to begin their career.

So our response is “South Carolina is a great place to live and work and business is on the rise around the state.” Thank you to the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce for all that you do.
