Leadership South Carolina 2011 (Community)
Helen Munnerlyn: Today is our first day of Leadership South Carolina where we begin a
new session. Fifty people from all over the state, from all geographic regions of the
state, ethnicities and employment sectors are here to learn more about what is going
on in South Carolina. Our fifty people are going to learn more about leadership skills.
They are going to learn more about what challenges South Carolina faces, including economic development,
education, social issues, health issues and environment. By the time we are finished,
they should know a lot more about what is going on in the state and how they can get
involved.
Derrec Becker: Leadership South Carolina is an opportunity to look at the solutions to
problems facing our state and the pressing issues facing our community. There are a lot
of issues facing South Carolina as a whole. Hopefully, one of the things that we can do
is bring our talents together and work on solutions to the issues facing our state.
Patti Tate: My platform this year is to celebrate the successes teachers and students have in
the classroom. We need to be positive about what occurs in our educational system. If
we do that, then overall the educational system will improve in South Carolina. With the improvement
of the educational system, businesses will be attracted to come to South Carolina. So
let’s celebrate education and teachers in South Carolina.
Helen Munnerlyn: We hope you will join us in applying for Leadership South Carolina,

forward to meeting with you very soon.
