A powerful team of leaders are set to speak at the Palmetto Panel Conference on March 7th.
A decade ago, the general public’s attention regarding government and policy was primarily directed toward national matters. However, the creators of the Palmetto Panel Conference understood that state-level policies tend to have a more significant effect on the everyday lives of citizens. Consequently, they organized a full-day conference concentrating on crucial issues affecting South Carolina. Taking place at Clemson University, the Palmetto Panel Conference operated from 2015 to 2019, offering content aimed at promoting effective governance through practical solutions.
Insights from the Palmetto Panel Conference
States serve as testing grounds for public policy and protect citizens from an excessively powerful national government; therefore, state policy is significant!
Mark Herr is one of the highlighted speakers.
Mark Herr serves as the President and Co-Founder of the Center for Self Governance, a nonprofit organization committed to reinstating constitutional awareness and effective civic leadership. His efforts concentrate on implementing self-governance principles to cultivate informed leaders within communities who can achieve tangible political results. Additionally, he is a founding board member of the American Social Science Association, which promotes non-partisan, systematic policy development across the country.
With the advent of AI, advancements in data centers, and swift transformations in energy, education, and healthcare, we feel that a statewide conference is essential at this moment. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce the return of the Palmetto Panel Conference, featuring national speakers who will deliver innovative, solutions-focused content once again.
