Charleston County Government has been selected as the honoree for Distinguished Municipality for the 2023 Lowcountry Diversity Leadership Awards. The award from the Charleston Regional Business Journal and the Riley Institute of Furman University recognizes outstanding Lowcountry individuals and organizations that make diversity, equity, and inclusion a strategic priority in policy and practice.
The Distinguished Municipality Award recognizes a city, town, county, or governing body that has set itself apart with its focus on cultivating and supporting a diverse population both internally in its leadership such as boards, commissions, or administration and externally by creating opportunities for its residents to learn and grow together.
“I am incredibly proud of the practices our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee have put into place,” said Charleston County Administrator Bill Tuten. “This has been a top strategic priority for Charleston County's leadership team, and we are committed to continue working with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee in creating a more inclusive workplace to better serve the diverse community that is Charleston County.”
