The program will include speakers such as Hood Temple, 7th District Commissioner on Higher Education, who will offer updates on current state initiatives and programs and Dr. Fred Carter, President of Francis Marion University and Dr. Ben Dillard, President of Florence-Darlington Technical College, who will both speak on local efforts to keep our education system positioned to train tomorrow’s workforce. Breakfast will begin at 7:30am. The program will begin shortly afterward. Tickets are available at flochamber.com or at the Chamber business offices at 100 W.
