Pamela S. Evette is the 93rd Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina and the State's first female Republican lieutenant governor. An entrepreneur and businesswoman, Evette founded Quality Business Solutions, a payroll, HR, and benefits services firm headquartered in Travelers Rest. Under her leadership, QBS grew from a start-up to one of the nation’s fastest growing small businesses. Evette has received numerous business and professional accolades, including the ATHENA Leadership Award® and the Enterprising Woman of the Year Award.
Since taking office in January of 2019, Evette has been laser-focused on utilizing her professional background to serve the people and businesses of South Carolina. She has dedicated her time to highlighting S.C.’s thriving small business ecosystem and attracting new business to the Palmetto state. As a staunch promoter of innovative public-private partnerships, she has also worked to bring awareness to S.C. non-profits and the impact they have in our local communities.
Beyond business, Evette’s passion for serving others has guided her focus on early childhood education and reading. In 2019, she was asked the join the sixth cohort of Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellows Program which focuses on state education policy. A strong advocate for school choice, Evette is also a vocal supporter of S.C.’s world-class technical college system as a pathway to career success.
Evette serves on the boards of directors of the St Francis Foundation (affiliated with Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital) and the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO). She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting from Cleveland State University and is a resident of Travelers Rest.
Business & Brews is a casual networking happy hour for community-engaged professionals from all walks of life in the Charleston / Lowcountry SC area. Each gathering has a 10-15 minute presentation by a local community leader, and the speaker typically takes Q&A from attendees afterwards. B&B is typically free to attend and open to the public. Our monthly speakers leave the PowerPoints and structured speeches behind and tell their stories in a laidback and fun atmosphere. So let your hair down, take that tie off, roll up your sleeves, grab a cold one and mingle with like-minded professionals who want to rub elbows with people who care about their community and the folks who make it a great place to live.
Past Special Guest Speakers include Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, Charleston Mayor William Cogswell, Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie, SC State House Rep Mark Smith, Congressional Candidate Duke Buckner, County Councilwoman Jenny Acosta Honeycutt, SC Ports Authority CEO Barbara Melvin, Charleston Regional Development Alliance President & CEO David Ginn, Clemson Athletic Directors Graham Neff & Dan Radakovich, South Carolina Athletic Director Ray Tanner, CofC Athletic Director Matt Roberts, Riverdogs Team President Dave Echols, SC Film Commissioner Matt Storm, U.S. Cannabis Council Executive Director Ed Conklin, Charleston WaterKeeper Executive Director Andrew Wunderley, North Charleston Tourism Director Amy Heath, SEWE President & CEO John Powell, SC Council on Competitiveness Director of Technology & Cyber Security Initiatives Jamie DeMent, Charleston Women in Tech Programs Chair Kaity Miller and more.
