Category: Civic Education and Public Information (Best in Category)

Year: 2010

This unique day-long workshop for businesses was a collaborative effort by federal, state, and county governments to provide answers to questions businesses pose for local governments. It presented a wealth of information about governmental regulations including where to go for online resources. Hundreds of attendees from across and even outside South Carolina attended the event. Each participating agency also had a booth for sharing additional information as well as allowing businesses to meet one-on-one with staff from the agency for discussing specific questions or issues. The Business Rules and Online Tools Workshop also brought together a variety of business-support organizations. These organizations, such as the Columbia Business development Center, State Chamber of Commerce, and others also had booths at the workshop to share information and promote the resources they represent for the attending businesses. Their participation also ensured that they too gained valuable regulatory information, which thereby empowered them to provide more accurate information to their constituent businesses and clients.
