Description

York County’s three chambers are teaming up with the Catawba Regional Council of Governments (COG), along with the chambers of commerce of Chester and Lancaster counties. The result will be the combination and expansion of two informative annual programs (YCRC’s Legislative Breakfast and the COG’s annual elected officials program) for a major one-time can’t-miss event. 

Registration is now open for The Catawba Regional Forum 2023! Over 250 attendees, including elected officials and business leaders from across our region are expected to attend the Forum, which will focus on building a winning workforce. This event will be moderated by Federal Reserve Senior Economist Dr. Laura Ullrich who will provide a ‘State of the State’ overview regarding workforce participation across South Carolina. A panel discussion will follow, featuring leaders of our region’s higher education institutions. This panel will feature:

• Dr. Edward Serna, Winthrop University
• Dr. Stacey Moore, York Technical College 
• Dr. Walter Collins, USC–Lancaster
• Dr. Lester McCorn, Clinton College 
• Dr. Randy Lowell, USC–Union

Each panelist will have the opportunity to highlight current and unique achievements, as well as future plans, in the area of workforce development. 

Following the program, all are encouraged to attend an exclusive networking reception. Heavy hors d'hoeuvres and beverages will be provided. There is no cost to attend.
