From generations of local business leadership to protecting families and businesses today, our agents are invested in the communities they serve. We're excited to see our Personal Lines Agent, Claire Parks, learning with North Augusta Forward. We appreciate organizations that champion meaningful growth & helpful leadership here at home!
"I joined the LNA Co-Lab program because I wanted to deepen my understanding of growth in North Augusta and connect with others who are passionate about making a positive impact in our community. North Augusta is my hometown, which means I feel a personal responsibility to stay engaged, learn more about the challenges and opportunities we face and contribute to the place that shaped me.
The most valuable part has been meeting fellow participants and learning from leaders across different organizations. It’s refreshing to talk directly with business owners and hear their ideas and stories. Our business owners lend their passion and genuinely respond towards the residents here. Whether it’s a meal, clothing, or service, they care about their neighbors and the importance of families and friends being together.
Programs like Leadership North Augusta matter because they prepare intentions and empower people to make a real difference. When you grow up here or choose to plant roots here, you want to understand how decisions are made and how you can be part of shaping what comes next. My grandfather began a business here and understanding he grew alongside the families he served, taught me how leadership can shape a community. I appreciate seeing North Augusta grow because people share their talents, ideas, and passion for making it a better place."
