The Columbia World Affairs Council was pleased to honor Dr. Jim Chow as the 2022 Global Vision Award recipient. Dr. Chow – Senior Partner at Columbia Skin Clinic and Retired Brigadier General in the United States Air Force – at a black-tie gala at the Columbia Marriott on Monday, December 5, 2022. This was the 29th year the Columbia World Affairs Council has presented the award to a leader whose contributions have made a significant impact on projecting South Carolina globally.
“Dr. Chow is internationally known for a 30+ year career in dermatology and cancer treatment," said Fred Monk, Columbia World Affairs Council Chair Emeritus. “His service as a military doctor and volunteer to communities around the world, treating people from Honduras to Iraq as well as wounded service members back home, changed many lives. His dedication to service, beyond his professional achievements, elevated South Carolina's presence around the world. Dr. Chow is the epitome of the Global Vision Award!"
Columbia World Affairs Council showcases South Carolina globally through international connections, educational programming, and innovative exchanges. Through our vast network of regional and international partners, the Council continues developing opportunities to increase economic prosperity and global education while advancing South Carolina as an international destination.
The Annual Global Vision Award is the Council’s only fund raising event. Your contribution to, and engagement in, our mission plays a significant role in establishing South Carolina as a world-class state.
As a sponsor, we welcome you to join our network of passionate global advocates to celebrate Dr. Chow and support the future of our state’s global vision and international visibility!
