2023 Small Business Breakout

According to the Small Business Administration, nearly 96.9% of all South Carolina businesses are considered small businesses. Within the Columbia Chamber, many of our Partners are small businesses with less than 100 employees. The Chamber is focused on creating and promoting an environment where businesses can flourish. The Small Business Council of the Columbia Chamber serves as an advocate for small business issues in our community and the Small Business Breakouts provide a forum for education, networking, and motivation. These monthly meetings also provide an opportunity for Chamber Partners and those interested in becoming a Chamber Partner, to interact with the small businesses in the region.

The quarterly Northeast Connection meetings bring small businesses in the Northeast Columbia region together to promote growth and enhance community awareness of small businesses that are independently owned and operated in this area. The connection between the Northeast region and downtown Columbia will strengthen relationships, promote growth, and enhance community awareness for small business.

2023 Military Affairs

Proudly called “The Most Military Friendly Community in America,” Columbia and the greater Midlands region contains the second largest military presence in South Carolina. Columbia is home to the US Army’s largest training base at Fort Jackson, the South Carolina National Guard Base, McEntire Joint National Guard Base, and the US Army Reserve. As advocates and champions for our military, the Columbia Chamber works tirelessly to strengthen the relationships between the business community and military, to support their families, and to retain and expand the local military footprint. The benefits of a vibrant military community are numerous and we work with local leaders, elected officials (city, county, state, and federal) to enhance military benefits and opportunities. These efforts help create an atmosphere that welcomes our military families, embraces and supports their needs, and encourages them to retire in the Greater Midlands area.

The Chamber’s Military Affairs initiative, working through the Military Outreach Group, is committed to achieving the following goals on behalf of the military community:

onboarding of senior leadership (both military and civilian)
serving as a liaison with legislative members and elected officials on military affairs
serving as a liaison with the South Carolina Military Base Task Force
connecting local Department of Defense Contractors and businesses to enhance relationships
connecting military organizations such as USO, AUSA, and ESGR with local community representatives to reinforce partnerships and enhance support for our men and women in uniform
