The particular nature of this type of forum doesn't seem like a place that would warrant a list of do's and don'ts but, just in case, here they are. Forum Rules: 1. No Spam! What is spamming you ask?

Dear Amazing People, I wanted to thank you for being a big part of the SC Women's Executive Leadership Luncheon. We appreciate you. We have taken the feedback and the new exciting ideas coming from our teams and have made some adjustments to our upcoming events. We are canceling the event on 10/18/23, we could not plan a proper event 48 days after the incredible event on 8/28 with BMW. We also did not want to take anything away from the Simpsonville Chamber's Women's Summit and the United Way Women's Summit which are taking place this month. New Programming: January will be a Company Culture Session from 8:30 a.m. …

What would you say to folks in the construction industry who may not be aware of the challenges that we face in this industry? Do you want to learn to grow and be a better organization or continue to feed the narrative? 4. How can we work together to create a more in…

Hello! My name is Marti Gathings and I recently moved back to Greenville, SC to work with our family's construction business. In this it is my Dad, a few laborers, and my self so when it comes to the office my dad and I wear all hats. With that being said one of the things we struggle with most is staying organized within the business. Any advice in this area would be extremely helpful. Secondly, I am working towards my General Contractors License and this is extremely vigorous test. With that being said, if anyone has experience with this or has any advice it would be beyond appreciated.
