The program brought together like-minded leaders from across the state and gave me the opportunity to visit communities and industries that are putting real, practical sustainability plans into action,” said Erin. “Sustain SC plays an important role in connecting businesses, communities and policymakers to advance conservation and responsible growth, and South Carolina is uniquely positioned to lead in this space. I’m excited to help share these best practices and support Sustain SC’s mission to create lasting, positive impact for our state.”
