South Carolina Chapter Meeting
Location: Spartanburg, SC
Staff: Brian Akpa, Chapter Coordinator for Northeast Corridor and Southeast Regions
The South Carolina Chapter leadership met Jan. 11-12 at the beautiful sprawling Milliken Corporate Headquarters and Campus in Spartanburg South Carolina to plan and coordinate their efforts for 2008. Faced with many of the growth and development opportunities and challenges, board members and branch leaders from the Upstate, Low Country, and Grand Strand branches were collectively able to develop some innovative solutions. Topics discussed included branch development tracts and guidelines, guiding policies for the chapter and branches, and finance structures relating to branches. They also took on planning initiatives for the new year, as well as an effort to increase diversity among the chapter membership constituency and board.
