his year, the Central SC Alliance celebrates a very significant milestone, its 20th Anniversary. In 1994, a group of public and private sector leaders saw the need to create a regional approach to economic development. The core mission was quite simple then and holds true today — the attraction of jobs and investment. Organized as a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit corporation, the Alliance became South Carolina’s first regional development alliance designed to “lessen the burden of government” and eliminate duplication of efforts. This vision and the organization created out of it have resulted in regional collaboration and the creation of prosperity for the citizens in Central South Carolina.

Over the past 20 years, the Central SC Alliance, along with its partners and allies, has worked with a host of companies who have considered a location in our region. Since 1994, over 570 companies have announced a location or expansion in the region and committed to over $10.2 billion in capital investment and over 61,000 new jobs.

Central South Carolina continues to be a destination of choice for global companies, and given its assets, will continue to succeed in the years to come.

ust as Columbia continues to grow and evolve, so too does First Community Bank. In many ways, 2014 has proved to be a transformative year. From geographic expansion in the Aiken/Augusta market and the addition of new Midlands banking offices to the further development of our mortgage and banking products, we’re redefining what it means to be a community bank.

And yet, we’ve reached new heights by continuing to do what we’ve always done: keep our feet on the ground and our focus squarely on the needs of local business owners. Looking ahead to the coming year, we reaffirm our commitment to helping the businesses that form the backbone of the communities we serve.

his year we are beginning a new tradition in the Book of Lists. While the book has focused primarily on bringing you listings of businesses, we wanted to add something innovative.

That led us to ask, who do you think are the most influential business

leaders in the Midlands, and which board of directors has the most influence?

To find out, we conducted an online survey asking our readers to select 10 people they thought were the most influential. After the votes were cast, we analyzed the data to rule out any suspicious attempts to influence the rankings.

Based on your votes, you will find in the following pages the 10 Most Influential Leaders and Boards of Directors.

Also you will find here a section called “Leaders You Need to Know.” We have listed 87 additional leaders you should know if you’re doing business in the Midlands. All of these people received votes for being influential during our survey. There are many more who should be included and will be as we enhance this listing. The leaders appearing in this section are listed alphabetically and are not ranked.

We hope you enjoy this addition.

Harris Pastides

President, University of South Carolina

Harris Pastides began his presidency at the University of South Carolina on Aug. 1, 2008. Just a few months later, the great recession began. At that time, Pastides promised to accelerate USC’s momentum as a world-class university. Now, more than six years later, USC has experienced remarkable growth and change.

USC Columbia’s freshman classes have grown continuously while posting the highest average SAT scores in university history. USC’s Honors College has been named the No. 1 public honors college in the nation, and the Palmetto state’s only Carnegie top-tier university is also home to top programs in areas such as undergraduate international business, public health, engineering, hospitality retail and sport management and more. In addition, as The Chronicle of Philanthropy was reporting a significant drop in charitable giving to higher education, USC was setting university records with five consecutive years of more than $100 million in private giving.

Pastides encourages students to seek engagement beyond the classroom through leadership, service learning, international experience, internships and undergraduate research. Innovative programs like Palmetto College, On Your Time Graduation, Gamecock Gateway and Gamecock Guarantee are successfully providing greater access, flexibility and affordability to South Carolinians seeking a higher education degree. To date, 57,210 degrees have been awarded systemwide during Pastides’ presidency.

He often says, “Nothing makes me prouder than the students we enroll and those that we graduate.”

Prior to joining the university’s faculty as dean of the Arnold School of Public Health, Pastides was a professor of epidemiology and chairman of the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He received his master’s in public health and his Ph.D. in epidemiology from Yale University.

Pastides and first lady Patricia Moore-Pastides live on USC’s historic Horseshoe.

Steve Benjamin

Mayor, city of Columbia

Steve Benjamin was first elected mayor of Columbia in April 2010.

He has worked in community initiatives with numerous public and private organizations dating back to his years at the University of South Carolina where he served as president of the Student Government and as Student Bar Association president at the USC School of Law. Benjamin has continued that service by serving on numerous boards for nonprofit organizations such as the Columbia Urban League, Benedict College, the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce and as a founding board member of the Eau Claire Promise Zone. He also served as a founding member of Choose Children First and chief legal counsel for Midlands Crimestoppers.

In 1999, Benjamin was appointed to Gov. Jim Hodges’ Cabinet as director of the Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services, the state’s second largest law enforcement agency.

In 2009, Benjamin drew national attention by representing prominent radio host Tom Joyner and securing a pardon for Joyner’s great uncles wrongfully convicted in the death of a 73-year-old Confederate veteran and executed in 1913. In a landmark decision, the S.C. Board of Paroles and Pardons voted unanimously to grant the posthumous pardon.

In addition to serving as mayor of Columbia, Benjamin also serves as chairman for Municipal Bonds for America and was elected in 2012 as a trustee with the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

Nikki R. Haley was elected the 116th governor of South Carolina in November 2010, and was reelected to a second term on Nov. 4, 2014.

Since taking office, Governor Haley has focused on creating jobs and improving the business climate in South Carolina. Other states now look to South Carolina as an example for how to recruit new businesses while retaining the businesses that already have a presence in South Carolina.

From the start of her administration, Haley has announced nearly 58,000 new jobs and more than $14.4 billion invested in South Carolina. Upon being re-elected in 2014, she committed to continuing her economic development efforts that have resulted in hundreds of new businesses locating in South Carolina and a growing workforce that has reached historic levels.

Over the past four years, Haley has also been able to pass government restructuring legislation, historic education reform, tax relief for small businesses, pension reform and Medicaid reform. She created an inspector general to help remove waste and abuse in state government.

First elected to the General Assembly in 2004, Haley’s time in Columbia has been marked by conservative leadership and an unwavering commitment to protecting the taxpayer. She has fought wasteful spending at every turn, pushed for smaller, more efficient government, and led the fight for accountability and transparency.

February 27, 2014: Creating a Sustainable Workforce

May 22, 2014: Buildings, Baseball and Bull Street

September 4, 2014: Start Me Up!

When lawmakers return in January, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a new House leader who already has set in motion committees to study badly needed highway funding and craft a new ethics law. With new leadership in the House of Representatives, there will be new priorities set and new policies made. Today, Midlands lawmakers will share their expectations on these and other issues and will field questions from the audience.

November 20, 2014: Legislative Lowdown

financial services

Increasingly, city leaders are looking for ways to entice young, well-educated entrepreneurs and their startup companies to call the Midlands their home. Columbia today is working to foster the startup and success of new companies, both in traditional businesses and in new, high-technology endeavors. The challenge is to create a space that nurtures these new companies allowing them to develop into future drivers of economic growth. This morning, panelists will discuss the various aspects of sustaining the startup culture, including incubator space, angel funding and educational support.

Education & Employment

The most significant piece of available property in the state is about to be transformed. The 181-acre Bull Street property will become the home to a $42 million baseball park and a host of other retail and entertainment facilities. This morning, developer Bob Hughes and Mayor Steve Benjamin will discuss plans for the expansive tract of land, which includes the adaptive reuse of the 150-year-old, 300,000-square-foot Babcock building.

Law & Government

With the economy rebounding, many companies are deciding the time is right to expand existing facilities while others are deciding to relocate in South Carolina. While this is occurring, baby boomers are deciding it is time to retire, taking with them valuable experience and institutional knowledge. All of this is leading to a drop in the unemployment rate. So where will you find your next generation of workers? Today, our panel of experts will discuss what is needed to create a sustainable workforce. They will examine education needs, workforce preparedness and much more.
