Miriam Atria Recognized for 40 Years of Service to Capital City/Lake Murray Country

Representatives Nathan Ballentine, Paula Rawl Calhoon, and former Representative Chip Huggins presented Miriam Atria with a House Resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly “To congratulate Miriam Atria, President/CEO of Capital City/Lake Murray Country, at the celebration of her forty years of service in the tourism industry and to wish her much-continued success as she continues to serve.”

Atria began her career at CCLMC in 1983 as the sole employee. Since the early 1990s, she recognized Lake Murray’s potential as a major player in the fishing tournament industry. Bringing awareness to Lake Murray and the attractions surrounding it have served to elevate the tourism industry in South Carolina.

CCLMC hosted the Forrest Wood Cup, coined the Super Bowl of fishing, in 2008, 2014 and 2017, bringing in a combined total of more than $95 million in economic impact.

In 2022, Atria capitalized on her relationship with USAngling to bring the XVI Black Bass World Championship to Lake

Murray— the first location on United States soil.

Most recently, at the 2023 Governor's Conference on Tourism & Travel, Atria was presented with the Fred Brinkman Award, the highest honor in South Carolina's tourism industry.
