Many Thanks to the Sponsors of Salute 2006 |
|
| |
More the 500 of South Carolina’s leaders in business, government and education attended the 2006 Salute to Manufacturing Luncheon. Attendees heard from winners of the Silver Crescent Awards and featured speakers and witnessed the presentation of awards to businesses and students that represent excellence in their fields. Sponsors played a key role in the weeks and months preceding the luncheon — making an investment in a program that enriches all of the Palmetto State — and during the event itself, by providing a tangible link to South Carolina’s economic future. Plans are underway for the 2007 event to be held in the spring. Serving as a Salute to Manufacturing sponsor represents an effective and affordable way to increase your company's profile and support an important statewide economic development initiative.
