The Columbia World Affairs Council was pleased to announce George B. Wolfe as the 2021 Global Vision Award recipient on Monday, December 6, 2021, at our annual black-tie gala hosted at the Columbia Marriott! This was the 28th 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.
“I don’t know anyone who has had more of an impact on international economic development in South Carolina over the last 40 years,” said Bobby Hitt, former South Carolina Secretary of Commerce.
Over those years, Mr. Wolfe, a partner and co-chair of the Economic Development Practice Group at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP and founding board member of the Columbia World Affairs Council, created and amended tax and incentive laws positioning South Carolina to consistently be one of the leading states for capital investment in the Nation. His dedication has resulted in billions of dollars in investments and created tens of thousands of jobs for our state economy while attracting companies from Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom—including BMW, Roche, and Toray
There would not be a Columbia World Affairs Council without George Wolfe. We are excited to celebrate Mr. Wolfe who has shown unwavering support for our mission since he helped establish the Council in 1993.
For 29 years, Columbia World Affairs Council has showcased 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 Mr. Wolfe and support the future of our state’s global vision and international visibility!
