Outstanding Young Banker Award
This prestigious honor is chosen by the SCBA Past Chairman’s Club and has been awarded to one deserving banker each year since 1970.
BankPAC Sporting Clays Tournament Fundraiser
The Emerging Leaders Division hosts an annual BankPAC Sporting Clays Tournament Fundraiser. The proceeds from this tournament are contributed to the SCBA StatePAC.
Political Advocacy
Leadership development and effective advocacy go hand in hand. Our emerging leaders support the banking industry and the SCBA by engaging in grassroots efforts.
Financial Education and Community Awareness
The promotion of financial education and community awareness has long been a hallmark initiative of the Emerging Leaders Division. Each year hundreds of emerging leaders teach financial literacy classes to students across the state, whether it is “Teach Children to Save Day” or volunteering with Junior Achievement. Countless bankers also spend their time and resources volunteering with multiple organizations and donating to charities. Bankers build communities — nurturing relationships, fostering collaboration, and creating an environment where people feel connected, supported, and empowered. Our banks make an incredible economic impact and are making a difference in every community in South Carolina.
