Chamber’s State of Our Community to bring local leaders together Sept. 1

The Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce will bring together government and community leaders for its annual State of Our Community on Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 8:30 a.m. at Winyah Auditorium in Georgetown.

The program offers Chamber members and the community an opportunity to hear directly from leaders about the issues, opportunities and priorities shaping Georgetown County and its municipalities. 

Award-winning journalist Hannah Hall will moderate the discussion, guiding a conversation focused on what is happening across the county today and what residents and businesses can expect in the months and years ahead.

Invited speakers include: County Council Chair Clint Elliott, County Administrator Angela Christian, Georgetown Mayor Jay Doyle, Georgetown Administrator Scott Whittier, Andrews Mayor Frank McClary, Andrews Administrator Mauretta Wilson, Town of Pawleys Island Mayor Brian Henry, and Administrator Daniel Newquist.

Topics are expected to include growth and development, infrastructure, public services, business and tourism, quality of life, and other issues affecting Georgetown County communities.

“State of Our Community gives our residents and business community an opportunity to hear directly from the people making important decisions about our future,” said Beth Stedman, President and CEO of the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce. “Just as importantly, it creates an opportunity for conversation. We want attendees to come prepared to ask questions and learn more about the issues that affect their businesses, families and communities.”

Attendees will have an opportunity to submit questions for the panel during the program. Tickets may be purchased at VisitGeorge.com.
