The Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce will join the U.S. Chamber’s national townhall event on June 25, where business and community leaders will discuss concrete actions that can be taken by government and the private sector to address inequality through education, employment, entrepreneurship, and criminal justice reform. As a partner on this important initiative, the Summerville Chamber will host local and industry dialogues to further the discussion.

“As we reopen our economy we are committed, now more than ever, to ensuring that we rebuild our region in a way that is for the betterment of all. We all can live, learn, and earn together,” said retired U.S.A.F Brigadier General Hank Taylor, who serves as the vice chair of business and community development for the Summerville Chamber. 

“The moral case for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace is indisputable, and there’s overwhelming evidence that greater diversity benefits the American economy, businesses, communities and employees,” said U.S. Chamber President Suzanne Clark. “We are proud to partner with the Summerville Chamber on this initiative and help develop a robust plan of action.” 

Since its establishment in 1911, the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce has been an integral part of the growth of Summerville and the surrounding areas. Our mission is to protect and promote the quality of life in the community, with specific emphasis on improving economic vitality and providing a favorable business climate.
