Recognizing the South Carolina
2013 Power Players
T
he South Carolina Chamber of Commerce’s legislative victories
are made possible by business leaders who recognize the value
of investing in the work we do on their behalf. Many businesses
choose to invest in the South Carolina Chamber at exceptional
levels. These companies are part of the Pinnacle of Leadership program, the
Chamber’s highest level of commitment, and make an annual investment of
$5,000 or more. Each Pinnacle company has its own reasons for investing at
such an outstanding level, but they all share a common goal: They want to
make South Carolina a better place to do business.
I hope you will take a look at this publication and recognize the
tremendous commitment these companies have made to improving South
Otis Rawl is president and chief
Carolina. These businesses not only provide financial support, but also enable

Chamber of Commerce.
their employees to offer their time and expertise to help the Chamber in a
variety of ways. They serve on our board and committees, provide input
towards our annual legislative agenda and contact legislators to urge passage
of pro-business legislation.
Without the dedication of these organizations, the Chamber would
not have achieved the legislative successes it has over the years, including
passing comprehensive tort reform, workers’ compensation reform and
unemployment insurance tax relief for employers. All of these achievements
will save South Carolina businesses millions of dollars. When you see fellow
business leaders from the Pinnacle of Leadership, please take the time to thank
them for their investment in South Carolina’s business community.
As I travel South Carolina to meet with business leaders, talk to various
organizations and participate in board meetings, I regularly tout the support
our Pinnacle of Leadership members provide. In order to continue to grow
economic development opportunities in South Carolina and maintain our
state’s pro-business environment, we need to grow our Pinnacle of Leadership
program so the Chamber can build relationships with dynamic, influential
companies like the ones listed in this publication. I encourage you to join
the Pinnacle of Leadership. Together, we can make South Carolina a leading
destination for businesses on a global level.

hat is the business climate in South Carolina?
We get that question quite often. Our clients
look to us as a barometer of the business climate in
the state. Although we have no pat answer, we do see plenty of
reasons to be positive.
The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, along with
other key business leaders, has promoted job growth as a leading
indicator. At Dixon Hughes Goodman, we are doing our part to
recruit and retain top accounting talent. We have added a number
of CPAs in our offices from the Upstate to the Lowcountry. As a
firm, we were recently recognized by Accounting Today magazine
as being among the fastest growing firms in the U.S and as the
largest firm headquartered in the Southeast. We are especially
proud of our Leadership College which enrolls over 200 interns
annually from the top universities. Many of these interns will join
our firm upon graduation to begin their career.
So our response is “South Carolina is a great place to live and
work and business is on the rise around the state.” Thank you to
the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce for all that you do.
