GOP Governor’s Forum

The Greenville County Republican Party’s Bronze Elephant Dinner was a complete success with the GOP Governor’s candidates forum. The dinner was a sold-out event with the grand ballroom of The Poinsett Club over capacity (let’s not share this with the fire marshal!!!) If you missed the event and want to hear what the candidates had to say you can watch it here.

JA Titan Challenge

The students’ success depends on decisions about their product’s price and their company’s marketing, research and development, and business practices. Win or lose, students gain an understanding of how management decisions affect a company’s bottom line.  I had the chance to sit down with Frank Starosto, a long-time volunteer and Immediate Past Board Chair and talk about the importance of JA and the impact they are having on students in Upstate SC.
