SUMMARY:2026 Global Vision Award Gala\, honoring Dr. Fred Carter
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited! The Columbia World Affairs Council is pleased to present the 2026 Global Vision Award to Dr. Fred Carter\, president of Francis Marion University (1999-present)\, executive director of the SC State Budget & Control Board (1991-1999)\, chief of staff to Governor Mark Sanford (2003)\, and senior executive assistant to South Carolina Governor Carroll Campbell (1987-1991). Dr. Carter will be honored at a black-tie gala on Tuesday\, December 1\, at the Columbia Museum of Art. This is our 33rd year recognizing a leader whose contributions have made a significant impact on projecting South Carolina globally. \n“Fred Carter is a master of bringing people of different backgrounds together for the common good\,” said Fred Monk\, chair emeritus of Columbia World Affairs Council. “His leadership on the state level forged South Carolina’s global reputation. Since then\, for the past three decades\, he has helped create thousands of first-generation college graduates in South Carolina who are now imbued with a global perspective.” \nThe annual Global Vision Award Gala is the Council’s only fund-raising event\, generating critical operational funds needed to continue our mission to keep SC globally connected and competitive in the year ahead. Each year\, the gala is attended by South Carolina’s esteemed leadership in government\, law\, business\, education\, and our globally engaged community. Please join us for the special evening and help support South Carolina’s global impact! \nTickets & Sponsorships are now available at https://www.columbiaworldaffairs.org/global-vision-award.html \nDr. Carter is the longest serving university president in South Carolina. During his presidency\, he has lead FMU through a period of extensive growth and development. He has presided over the start of two dozen academic initiatives\, including the development of three doctoral programs and the creation of a School of Health Sciences. Under Dr. Carter’s leadership\, FMU’s International Programs excelled to include 11 semester-long exchange programs with universities in seven different countries and travel studies to unique instructional and research sites\, such as FMU’s Wildsumaco Biological Research station in Ecuador\, RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau in Germany\, the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada\, Carlow College\, St. Patrick’s in Ireland\, the University of Burgos in Spain\, De Montfort University in England\, and the Rennes School of Business in France. \nDuring his time leading the State Budget & Control Board\, Dr. Carter helped establish many of South Carolina’s international state relationships\, including the agreement with Rhineland Palatinate\, Germany\, which celebrates 30 years of partnership in 2027. Currently\, he chairs the South Carolina Commission for International Cooperation and Agreements\, which he helped establish\, and now oversees many of the state partnerships he helped forge. Dr. Carter also supported SC’s World Class Partnership project\, an international high school cultural and teacher exchange program which created more than 25 international sister schools from Socastee to Pendleton. \nThe Global Vision Award was established in 1994 and the first recipient was Governor Carroll A. Campbell. The 2025 Global Vision Award was given to David M. Beasley\, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the World Food Programme in his role as executive director (2017-23)\, South Carolina Governor (1995-99)\, and now Distinguished Professor of Practice & Public Service at the University of South Carolina School of Law.

SUMMARY:2026 Economic Outlook Conference
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Dec. 8  |  11:30 AM-3:30 PM  |  Pastides Alumni Center  |  Register \nIn 2026\, South Carolina’s economic momentum has slowed. Despite low unemployment\, positive growth in most industrial sectors\, and a record high stock market\, new economic headwinds have emerged that threaten to stall the Palmetto State’s economic growth heading into 2027. The biggest of these headwinds is a major increase in energy prices\, which has caused inflation to rebound. Prices are currently rising faster than wages\, eroding the purchasing power of consumers and compounding the affordability challenges already facing South Carolinians – from gas and groceries to housing prices. \nSouth Carolina’s economy continues to be one of the fastest growing in the nation\, and is currently ranked 1st in population growth. Yet persistently high inflation could significantly weigh on consumer spending and slow business investment\, potentially leading to a period of stagflation in 2027 – a stagnant economy that also suffers from high inflation. Persistently high inflation also makes it more likely that the Federal Reserve will either keep interest rates elevated or engage in rate hikes\, further curtailing economic momentum. Any significant reduction in consumer spending\, especially if coupled with a significant pullback in the stock market or AI-driven layoffs\, could increase the likelihood of recession next year. \nThe Economic Outlook Conference will address these concerns and tackle the important questions at the top of everyone’s minds: \n\nHow long will inflation remain elevated? Can consumer spending continue at current levels despite high prices?\nWill the Federal Reserve increase interest rates? And if so\, by how much?\nCan today’s record high stock market continue its run?\nIs stagflation inevitable in 2027\, or could South Carolina’s economy re-accelerate next year?\nHow much would South Carolina’s strong population growth insulate it from a national economic slowdown?\nWhat economic indicators are the most important for businesses to be watching heading into 2027?
