Nonprofit CEOs and board members please join us on March 9 in Spartanburg for the Together SC 2022 Summit – Urgency of Now. The Summit Planning Committee has designed a robust program for you focused on equity in action. This one-day experience includes touring special-emphasis neighborhoods, hearing community voices during our opening panel, participating in breakout discussions led by your nonprofit colleagues, and being moved to action by our closing plenary speaker Jeffery Blount, a noted author.
