Remarks for the SCBA

 
For over a third of the SCBA’s existence, I have worked with the association to provide more services to the state of South Carolina and its citizens. It certainly seems like a long time, but in that thirty-four years the SCBA has worked with us to modernize and protect a primarily agricultural state. We have come together to lay the foundation for, and foster South Carolina’s enormous economic growth.

The next one hundred years pose new challenges and opportunities for the South Carolina Bankers’ Association, and the people we serve. We are fighting to address a huge sea of changes: the globalization of financial markets and economies; the liberalization of federal finance laws; the revolution in technology; and, the ever-present emphasis on consumers.

From the State Treasurer’s Office and the SC Board of Financial Institutions (which I chair) I thank you for your work over the past century. Personally, I thank you for your friendships and hard work. And, I look forward to working with you to build a solid basis for a stronger South Carolina.
