Event Update: 2021 Legislative and Civic Leadership Awards Ceremony
It's the time of year when the Riley Institute begins to look forward to our annual award celebration honoring legislative and civic leadership in South Carolina. For the past fifteen Januaries, the buzz of conversation, the handshakes and hugs, and the camaraderie we share as we honor bipartisan leadership have brought us together. Because we so value this time of gathering, it was difficult for us to make the decision to cancel our January 2021 awards ceremony, but we know it is the right thing to do given the persistence of COVID-19.
As challenging as this year has been, we have witnessed the tremendous ways South Carolinians have rallied around their communities. Such displays of compassion, courage, and commitment to community are the very qualities our award celebrates. They inspire us to make our annual ceremony, refreshed but of the same spirit, the very best it can be when it returns in 2022.
