I always have a great time working with all of the folks at the Charleston CVB for their annual luncheon. The CVB does such a great job at promoting Charleston and really recognizing all of the local businesses that make up the local community and travel council members. I guess that’s one of the reasons Charleston is always ranked in the top ten of cities that everyone wants to visit in America! This year’s speaker was the talented Sara Spagnola from Travel + Leisure magazine. She talked about how other cities try to promote themselves and garner more tourist and destination dollars into their local economies. When you’re on top as the best city of the year (Charleston, SC) everyone else has to try and catch up! ha! Another important function at the luncheon is always recognizing the Pineapple Award winners for the Charleston area through the CVB. Lt. Governor Glenn McConnell was presented with this years Barrett Lawrimore Leadership award plate. (See all the winners pics below!) A special thank you goes out to Helen Hill and Ali Bedard at the CVB  who always do such a fine job with this luncheon. 😉
