Legislative Luncheon  Presented by Pinnacle Financial Partners


The Greater Summerville Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce recently hosted its annual Legislative Luncheon presented by Pinnacle Financial Partners.


The event brought together business and community leaders for an engaging conversation on the policies and priorities shaping the region’s economic future.


This year’s keynote address was delivered by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who shared insights on national and state issues affecting South Carolina’s business climate, infrastructure development, and future needs.


Attendees also heard updates from state officials, emphasizing collaboration between government and the private sector to ensure continued growth across Dorchester County.


The Chamber extends sincere appreciation to Pinnacle Financial Partners for their generous support and to all who joined us for this important dialogue connecting policy and progress.


Special thanks to Anna McSwain for the event photography.
