Wilson voted chairperson of Advisory Council
January 29, 2018
On Wednesday, January 24, 2018, City Manager Teresa Wilson was voted the chairperson of the Carolina Cluster Public-Sector Executive Advisory Council. Wilson was selected last year to participate on the 20-member board comprised of leaders of local government and state agencies.
The Carolina Cluster is comprised of three historically black colleges and universities: Claflin University, Benedict College and Voorhees College. The goal of the cluster is to develop and enhance student preparation for success in the workplace. The collaborative effort to develop and enhance student preparation for success in the workplace is made possible by a five-year $6 million grant from the United Negro College Fund Career Pathways Initiative funded by the Lilly Endowment, Incorporated.
Wilson says, “It is indeed my desire to serve with distinction as chairperson of the Executive Advisory Council in an effort to achieve a more coordinated relationship between the colleges and employees in order to train and retain South Carolina’s talented college students.”
