Chris Nickels recently spoke to the Charleston Young Professionals at their August luncheon held in the board room at the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce.
The purpose of the luncheon is to educate young professionals on the role of local government and its impact on the business community. Specifically, Chris discussed that as election season is upon us, do the “young professional” truly understand the roles of their local elected officials? The discussion also entailed how to become engaged and make a difference. Chris emphasized that young professionals can make a significant impact on the region. Moreover, he emphasized that it is important for all citizens, including young professionals, to learn about the responsibilities of our local government at the city, county, and state level and how local government impacts the business community.
