Thanks to Derek Burress and #GoodMorningSumter for hosting Susan Wild and me this morning to talk all about the Touch a Truck: Storm Readiness event. Bring your family and join us on Saturday at the Sumter County Civic Center from 9 to noon for a fun, FREE event.

I had the pleasure of presenting Tyler Locke, branch manager of @firstcitizens in Bishopville, with the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce’s Young Professional of the Year award on behalf of @DukeEnergy tonight at the Awards Gala. Congratulations, Tyler!

Good morning from Ebenezer Middle School in Dalzell, SC! @DukeEnergy teammates are ready to show the students how to close fuses while learning about careers in the energy industry.

I’m still in shock after being presented with the Sumter Chamber's Chairman’s Award at today’s Chamber Week Summit. This recognition means so much to me, not only because of the honor itself, but because of how proud I am to serve alongside such an incredible group of leaders.

To strengthen communities across South Carolina as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, Duke Energy Foundation is awarding $275,000 to nonprofit organizations through a first round of funding as part of its America250 initiative. “As we look back on our country’s 250-year anniversary, it’s an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s history while working to support the next generation. We are proud to partner with local organizations who can help care for the Palmetto State now, so future generations can enjoy its beauty. Together, we can create lasting impact in the communities where we live and work.” - Tim Pearson, Duke Energy South Carolina president. LEARN MORE: spr.ly/6012BBDklI

Gorgeous evening in #Sumter for the first Chamber Week Reception. Tonight David was presented with his “chair,,” a longstanding gift for the outgoing chairperson. Looking forward to serving another year with this fantastic organization.

Caiya and I are ready for @DukeEnergy Science night at the new, beautiful Lee Central Elementary School in Bishopville. The parents and students were lined up at the door, ready to explore STEM activities.

Listening to birds sing and enjoying the breeze at the dedication of the newest @SC_State_Parks site in Salters- Black River State Park. Celebrating conservation and nature’s beauty at this beautiful place. Proud of @DukeEnergy’s investment here.

Ready to have fun and explore science with the families of @SumterSCSchools Willow Dr. Elementary at @DukeEnergy Science Night.

I was proud to accept the President’s Partnership Award on behalf of @DukeEnergy from the Central Carolina Technical College at today’s Foundation Scholarship Luncheon. For decades, we have supported CCTC with grants for scholarships, programs, and faculty development.

Inspired this morning by the leadership stories shared by Army and Air Force veterans at this morning’s #SHE breakfast hosted by the @SumterSCChamber. #BossLady

Today is my lucky day because I get to share it with customers and their children at @LugoffElem for @DukeEnergy Science Night. Can’t wait to see the kids have fun with STEM activities provided by the @DukeEnergy Foundation.

Keeping #Sumter safe everyday through proactive community outreach and service is the theme of this morning’s State of Public Safety presented by the Sumter chamber.

Collaboration and cooperation are making a real difference in #Mayesville. I was honored to present a @DukeEnergy Foundation grant to the small, rural SC town to support their master planning process.

Having fun celebrating the great people and organizations in @WeRWilliamsburg at the Hometown Chamber Banquet. Loved seeing our RAB members in costume and honoring Caring & Sharing as Organization of the Year. Proud to support on behalf of @DukeEnergy

Had the opportunity to attend the #Sumter Region Env and Econ Summit hosted by @SC_EnvServices and Sen Zell this morning. A common theme of the conversation centered around responsible, sustainable growth while protecting our state’s natural resources.

Learned so much about leadership from other women today at the Kershaw Chamber’s Women’s Leadership Summit.

Ran into my friend and state representative Keishan Scott tonight at Florence County Legislative Action Day. He is a shining star and an impressive young man. I’m proud to know him.

Downtown #Bishopville is looking so good with the new lighting and with the storefronts filling up. I’m so happy to support the City with a @DukeEnergy Foundation grant for beautification to assist in its revitalization efforts.
