Message from Chairman
Dear Esteemed Leaders
On behalf of the South Carolina African American Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank the South Carolina leadership for extending such gracious hospitality in welcoming the Kenyan Government and business officials. Your support and cooperation have been instrumental in facilitating this important visit. I also want to thank and acknowledge our colleague Mr. Curtiss Stancil, who is the President of Roberts Colson & Company, Inc., a USA-based Global Trade Development Company. Mr. Stancil is one of North America's leading authorities on trade development in Africa. He has been critical in involving the South Carolina African American Chamber of Commerce in ongoing collaborations with the Continent of Africa and international small business collaborations. I have attached Mr. Stancil's bio for additional information.
This delegation's visit presents a valuable opportunity to foster meaningful collaborations and explore potential business and commerce initiatives between South Carolina and Kenya. Our state's robust agricultural sector, dynamic business climate, and strategic location position us well for mutually beneficial partnerships. We are excited about the prospects of expanding trade relations, investment opportunities, and joint ventures that can enhance economic growth for both regions.
We appreciate your efforts in helping us craft an agenda that showcases South Carolina's vibrant economic environment and facilitates direct engagement with Kenyan officials. These interactions will lay the foundation for long-term cooperation and economic prosperity.
Please find attached the final agenda for the delegation’s visit, which provides an overview of the planned activities and engagements.
Thank you once again for your support and commitment to strengthening the economic ties between our communities.
Warm Regards,
Stephen Gilchrist, Chairman
