Columbia Opportunity Resource

Are you an existing or emerging young leader in our community? Are you looking for ways to build your network and learn from some of the Midlands top executives from business, government, and higher education?

COR creates a variety of opportunities for young professionals to network with prominent industry leaders and experts. However, we've heard many of you would like the opportunity to gain leadership exposure and experience, and the chance to network on a smaller scale with dynamic leaders in our community in a more informal setting. The challenge is how do we break down the barriers to entry for young talented aspiring leaders in our community, and build bridges between the existing leadership and the “next generation” of talent.

Table for Six (TF6) Networking Event is COR's answer to this challenge; an innovative leadership development and social networking event designed to connect emerging leaders with existing leaders on an intimate scale. The conversation possibilities are endless…as are your prospective dining mates. Each dinner will feature prominent executives in our community and will connect them with COR members and young professionals for engaging and quality conversation, Q&A, and networking.

The next COR TF6 Networking Event will be held on Wednesday, September 23rd at Saluda’s in Five Points, beginning at 7 p.m. The only cost to participate is the cost of your meal. The restaurant will be providing a special menu to suit different tastes. Please register at https://www.ourcor.org/index.php?option=com_dtregister&Itemid=74

Our Executives at this event will include:
Mac Bennett, President and CEO, United Way of the Midlands
Frank Fusco, Executive Director, SC Budget and Control Board
Erin Hardwick, Executive Director, South Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants
Pamela Lackey, President, AT&T SC Operations
Greg LaPointe, Market President, Wells Fargo (formerly Wachovia)
