Spartanburg Community College Foundation (SCCF) hosted the fourth annual Economic Visionaries event on March 12, 2020 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. This event is held to honor the businesses, innovators and leaders who help transform the Upstate (the westernmost part) of South Carolina.
In this event, for the first time, CMA Spartanburg Plant was honored as one of four recipients for this year’s Economic Visionaries award. During the ceremony, Mrs. Amy Wood, a local Emmy-Award winning TV anchor, presented each award, which was preceded by a video of the winning company. Mary Willard, CMA Spartanburg Plant’s Human Resources/General Affairs Manager, received the trophy on behalf of the company from Mr. Henry C. Giles, President of Spartanburg Community College (SCC). The other award winners were Piedmont Natural Gas, Bank of America, and Milliken & Company.
Proceeds from the SCCF’s Economic Visionaries event support student emergency funds, student book fund requests and general scholarships administered by the Foundation. CMA Spartanburg Plant was happy to be one of the Inventor level sponsors for the event.
The relationship between SCC and CMA Spartanburg Plant began during initial construction of the plant in Spartanburg when they were gracious enough to allow CMA offices to be housed in their Tyger River Campus just up the road from the construction site.
We are very honored to receive the award and will continue to make efforts to contribute to SCC and the community.
