Southern Legislative Conference
|
|
And, a good time was had by all!
The Southern Legislative Conference was held the first week of August and our staff was on-hand to assist with many of the various activities. Special thanks to several of our members that helped to play host: Renaissance Hotel Charleston, Mills House Hotel, Doubletree Guest Suites, Kings Courtyard Inn and King Charles Inn. Also several of our board members jumped in to set up some special treats. Thanks to Sarah Ragsdale, SC Aquarium, for the behind the scenes children's tour and to Mike Saboe, The Culinary Institute of Charleston, for providing 3 culinary related spouse courses.
The conference had an estimated economic impact of $3.6 million - not bad for August! Just as important, it gave us a chance to show many of the SC legislators just how important tourism is to the economy. Thanks to Speaker Bobby Harrell and his wife, Cathy, for bringing this meeting home!
