Held on the first night of the legislative session each year and attended by political, community, and business leaders, the Wilkins Awards Dinner promotes citizenship, public service, and bipartisan governing. The Wilkins Awards are named for former Speaker of the S.C. House of Representatives and Ambassador to Canada, David H. Wilkins, and honor the leadership, courage, vision, and integrity of one South Carolina legislator and one South Carolina civic leader.
Rep. Gary Simrill (R-York) will receive the 2019 Wilkins Award for Legislative Leadership.
Currently the House Majority Leader and Vice-Chair of the Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Simrill is described by his colleagues as hard-working, knowledgeable, and personable--a leader who consistently embraces ideas that move the state forward regardless of from which side of the aisle they originate.
Nella Barkley, president of Crystal-Barkley and community leader, will receive the 2019 Wilkins Award for Civic Leadership.
Nella Barkley has spent much of her life in leadership roles in numerous organizations devoted to improving the lives of South Carolinians by elevating education, sustaining and improving the arts, and creating opportunities for marginalized populations.
