ECONOMIC GROWTH

Our task is to create an economic agenda that will expand existing businesses, attract new investment to South Carolina and develop all the tools needed to excel in the global marketplace, such as venture financing, management assistance techniques and incubation programs.


ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

South Carolina's public education system (K-12, technical institutions, colleges, universities and research universities) should prepare students to excel in the global economy and serve as a powerful engine for economic development.


QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENT

We must preserve South Carolina's unique natural, cultural and human assets, while finding new ways to improve the quality of life and the standard of living for all our citizens.


BIPARTISAN REFORM

The time has come to end the gridlock and partisan bickering. We must all work together to do the right thing for our state and give the people of South Carolina greater efficiency and the high quality of service they deserve.


INNOVATION

If leaders in the private and public sector work closely together, we can create an exciting new spirit of confidence and innovation. There are no limits to what we can accomplish if we strive to be the best. That new spirit will in turn enhance our ability to grow our economy and to attract world-class companies to the Palmetto State.




OUR GOALS ARE TO:

  • Create new and better jobs for South Carolina's future
  • Advance the cause of free enterprise with a healthy, pro-business economy that will be globally competitive
  • Keep the tax burden low for businesses and individuals
  • Transform our education system to achieve academic excellence and to serve as a powerful engine for economic development
  • Support pro-business leaders
  • Act as a liaison between business leaders and elected officials
  • Give our members a powerful voice in developing workable solutions to the challenges we face in South Carolina
