Erin Ouzts, Upstate Entrepreneur Ecosystem Director
Global Entrepreneurship Week is even more important this year as we celebrate the small, large, starting and growing businesses and their owners that have worked tirelessly to keep employees and provide all of us with the products and services we need.
The week of November 16-22, 2020, Global Entrepreneurship Week, is an annual celebration of entrepreneurship organized by the Global Entrepreneurship Network. The Upstate Entrepreneur Ecosystem (UEE) launched Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) activities in November 2018 as a way for Upstate communities to celebrate their local businesses and connect to the entire Upstate through a common theme and brand.
In 2020, Upstate communities are focusing activities on more virtual celebrations and other non-event ways to honor entrepreneurs. We are asking local city and county councils to proclaim a resolution to support GEW, their local business owners and the many support organizations that guide them. Ask your Mayor or County Council leader if they are aware of this. If not, download a template resolution here and contact Justine Allen for more information.
Upstate universities are celebrating and competing with colleges, universities and technical schools statewide on the first ever SC Innovates Pitch Competition. Beyond student participation, multiple entrepreneur advisors and mentors around the state are judging the entries, bringing two different groups together for the common purpose of celebrating GEW.
USC Upstate will have the first ever international sharing of ideas with entrepreneurs and innovators as they host Universidad Latina De Costa Rica in a virtual panel discussion. CommunityWorks is partnering with USC Upstate to host another panel discussion, this one on Supporting Black Women-owned Business: Innovative Strategies for Growth and Overcoming Challenges.
Furman Innovation and Entrepreneurship will host the final Paladin Pivot: Connecting with Your Customers Faster and More Efficiently during Global Entrepreneurship Week. They were also instrumental in launching the SC Innovates Pitch Competition. Other events will be included in the UpstateVibe356 calendar.
InnoVision Awards is hosting their annual awards celebration during GEW. This is the premier innovation awards recognition in South Carolina. Register here.
The South Carolina Community Loan Fund’s Investing in Community Summit Series: Resources for South Carolina’s Small Businesses will host a statewide panel discussion with the moderator and 2 panelists from the Upstate.
In 2018, the UEE celebrated with gatherings, panel discussions, speakers, and social media promotions of local entrepreneurs. 2019 continued that success with multiple events spread over the Upstate. Here is a link to the USC Upstate Johnson College of Business video of their 2018 GEW activities.
In 2020, the Director of the State Office of Innovation in the State Department of Commerce, Laura Corder, became an official State Coordinator through GEN and has local coordinators within the state facilitating activities. Celebrations are spreading throughout the state, so much so, that we now have our own Global Entrepreneurship Week South Carolina log!
GEW is about more that the Upstate and South Carolina. Events occur all over the world and are more accessible than ever this year with so many going virtual. Access the global GEW Events calendar here and sign up for an event today!
According to their website, Global Entrepreneurship Week is a collection of tens of thousands of activities, competitions and events aimed at making it easier for anyone, anywhere to start and scale a company.
This November 16 – 22, GEW 2020 will rally almost every nation in the world to empower their entrepreneurs and encourage their citizens to become starters – finding new and better ways of doing things. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its unprecedented impact, GEW 2020 is a call to action for all societies to be resilient and come together in leveraging the power of new ideas and innovation for the benefit of all.
GEW inspires roughly 10 million participants each year to explore their potential while fostering connections and increasing collaboration within their ecosystems to empower entrepreneurs and strengthen communities.

Katie Mann, Assistant Director, Hagood Mill
Every November the Hagood Mill Historic Site observes Native American Heritage Month by holding the Native American Celebration. Every Third Weekend of November we hold this beloved celebration that we also call Selugadu. Selugadu translates into cornbread in the Tsalagi Gawonihisdi (Cherokee) language. Selu, meaning corn and gadu, meaning bread. This celebration of cornbread is in reality a Harvest Festival. November is the time of year when Native Americans reaped the harvest of corn. All across the Americas the first people developed over 250 varieties of corn. Corn was an essential crop in Native American life and came to be in Colonial life as well.
At this time of year Americans Give Thanks. Join us at the Hagood Mill to give thanks to, and honor the first peoples of these lands, for the food traditions and customs that have influenced southern Appalachian life. On Saturday, November 21st we will bring together many people from many tribal groups to share their customs from today and yesteryear at the idyllic Hagood Mill Historic Site.
Saturday’s event kicks off at 10 am and runs until 4 pm. We will have our typical Third Saturday activities, including the operation of the Hagood Mill, living history demonstrations and a cherry picked group of vendors. Visitors and guest performers will participate in the festivities of the day which will include: Native American traditional drumming, singing, dancing, flute playing, storytelling, Cherokee hymns in the Tsalagi Gawonihisdi language, and traditional crafts and demonstrations. Performers include storyteller and basket maker Nancy Basket, from Walhalla, SC; Cherokee singer Amy Sindersine of the Reedy River Inter-tribal Association; The Kau-Ta-Noh-Jrs Society Singers of the Tuscarora Nation, NC with On’yas Locklear, Raniya Locklear and Nawayla Locklear; and Keepers of the Word from South Carolina.
Demonstrations of food-way traditions such as stone grinding of cornmeal, cooking fry-bread, and roasting corn will take place throughout the day. Barry Crawford’s prehistoric cooking demonstration using ancient soapstone bowls is too artful to be missed. Members from the Foothills Archaeology Society will be on site to identify Native American stone tools and artifacts. Be sure to bring your treasure to be identified!
We will be inaugurating “Our Native Roots: An Interpretive Trail” at noon. The interpretive trail takes visitors along the Old Indian Path, which is an ancient trading path that took the Native Americans from the Mississippi coast and up and through the continental divide to Virginia. The interpretive trail includes a dugout out canoe which will be burned during the Native American Celebration, a river cane restoration area, a sacred fire circle for all to experience on this special day, a medicine wheel garden, a corn garden, a mortar and pestle for grinding corn, a prehistoric stone mortar, an archaeology adventure for kids, the Paul West artifact collection, and the petroglyphs that were made in prehistoric times. We are especially grateful to Paul West, who donated his personal collection of Native American artifacts, art and books to the Hagood Mill Foundation, and are now housed in the Hagood Creek Petroglyph Site.
Due to COVID, we are limiting admission to this event. As a result, admission will be $10 per person 13 and up and $5 per child aged 3-12. One of our most popular events of the year, this event is sure to sell out, so get your tickets today.
We will kick off the weekend on Friday, November 20th at the Heritage Pavilion! We have special free programming this year thanks to the Traditional Arts Touring Grant from South Arts. Beginning at 5:30 pm we will have an Artifact Show-and-Tell, in addition to workshops from some of the veteran performers of our Native American Celebration! There will be artifact experts on site helping folks to identify artifacts and to share stories. Nancy Basket will provide an educational workshop highlighting Native American basket making techniques, motifs, and the different types of construction materials which can be used based on one’s demographic location. On’yas Locklear and Ka-Tau-Noh-Jrs Society Singers will be offering song and dance workshops as well. Concessions will be available at 5 pm . Admittance to the Heritage Pavilion will be cut off at 150 people. Please bring PPE and your own chairs and bundle up! Arrive early to ensure your space. Of course observers are welcome to disperse in the fields surrounding the pavilion.
Make a weekend of the event and reserve your camping space as well!
Primitive camping will be available Friday and Saturday nights– $10/person aged 13 and up for one or two nights (tent/car camping) or $30 for RV spaces. Limit 6 people per site. Car and RV spaces are limited, so register online soon. Folks with loud generators will be asked not to use them during special events.
The Native American Celebration is partially funded by South Arts, Pickens County ATAX, and from generous donors like Paul West.

Welcome Terence Roberts
Speaker Jordana Megonigal, CEO of The RECON Network
You can view a recap of the meeting here.
RECON focuses on veterans transitioning to civilian life
RECON helps veterans transition to meaningful careers with purpose, including physical and mental health for vets and spouses
Summit 11/19-11/20 will include tracks for vets, spouses, and companies looking for employees
Veterans Ascend platform (locally owned) predicts career fit to 98.2%
Q & A
- Are there financial incentives and tax benefits to hiring veterans? Yes! Learn more at the summit. There are work opportunity tax credits for those who are WOTC certified from $2,400-$9,600 per year. Must be set up in advance, not retroactive to post-hire.
- SC Works can help with hiring. What is new programs? Programs have not changed, are usually focused on benefits to be received vs. career transition. There are 1,800 organizations in SC, the trick is to find the right one.
- What help is out there for veterans’ spouses? Spouses’ resumes have gaps due to moving and role as support staff. https://www.veterans.gov/milspouses/
- What is the reach of RECON? Focus is in the U.S. with the assistance of networks.
- Is there a list of veteran owned businesses? Hard to find because of parameters – must apply for status or have been served by VA. https://avosba.org/avoba-membership/veteran-owned-businesses-by-state/ & https://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/
- Is there certification reciprocity in SC? Legislation is being discussed across the nation.
- What is the relationship to higher education? While education is a huge factor, RECON is not currently involved in SCACE.
- How is RECON funded? RECON is funded through events (many cancelled in 2020) and corporate partners.

Jordana Megonigal, Founder of The RECON Network
Across the state of South Carolina, there are almost a half million veterans—although there are likely far more who go uncounted by the VA. While we in the Upstate may feel somewhat removed from this community due to the fact that we don’t have a large active military base locally, the reality is that the military community in South Carolina generates one out of every 12 jobs in the state, and with a statewide economic impact of more than $25 billion each year ($2.2 Billion of that in the Upstate alone), has proven vital to our economic well-being across the state.
With this information, there is a high focus on employing veterans as part of an elite workforce—especially in South Carolina, where manufacturing, logistics and cyber security are significant boons to our local economy. However, the realities facing those making that transition from active military to veteran status can be hard. It’s about far more than simply “finding a job,” as this transition isn’t simply a career change; in many cases the servicemember is also navigating changes in family, location, career, and housing—all at the same time. And that’s not even mentioning the emotional and mental shifts that accompany transition, as well.
To add to the challenges, when it comes to veteran hiring after transition, there are systemic gaps between expectation and reality—for both veterans and hiring companies. Veterans—many who have been told that “everyone hires vets”, oftentimes exit the military with rose-colored glasses, expecting job offers to fall into their laps, only to be disappointed when the job-finding path takes months, or even years. When they do find one, their lack of civilian expertise slots them into entry-level positions, virtually ignoring their years of experience—most of which is translatable to a civilian position if someone in HR only knows how to look at it.
On the other side, companies also face challenges—different cultures and different vocabularies make qualifying candidates complicated. In order to successfully hire veterans, HR professionals must spend extra time translating experience or understanding military culture and rank hierarchy in order to balance the job opportunity on behalf of the veteran applicant. The alternative is to keep doing “business as usual,” where more often than not a veteran’s resume won’t make it into the pile of resumes in an already overloaded hiring department.
But these are only a few examples; from finding to hiring and retaining veterans in the workforce, there are real challenges that can only be rectified when both entities are working toward common ground.
At The RECON Network, which started humbly in Greenville in 2015 and has grown into a nationally-focused organization serving veterans and military spouses across the U.S., we believe that starting these conversations is just as important as addressing the “human element” of transition—that of purpose, well-being, motivation and meaning. That’s why in 2019 we partnered with SC SHRM to begin the first Veteran Employment and Transition (VET) Summit, funded in part by a grant from the SHRM Foundation. In 2020, with the cancellation of live events due to COVID-19, the VET Summit is set to be a much larger, two-day virtual event, providing valuable information that can help us come together for the benefit of veterans seeking employment.
With three tracks—one for transitioning service members and veterans, another for military spouses, and a third focused on hiring companies, the VET Summit is designed to educate and provide real-life resources for each of these entities, with the overall goal of getting our military and veteran communities back into the workforce. Hiring companies will learn more about translating skills, hiring military spouses, and Workforce Opportunity Tax Credits (which offer real financial incentives for hiring veterans). Veterans and military spouses will focus on various tools and resources designed to help them stand out in a job search, find a meaningful career path, and what a post-COVID workforce looks like.
Even with all the resources available, we have room to grow. With 55 percent of veterans listing finding a job as their top transition challenge (The Institute for Veterans and Military Families), and with 44 percent leaving their first job post-military within the first year (Hiring our Heroes), there is still much to do. The VET Summit—and events like it—are the types of events we need to reduce gaps in veteran hiring and ensure that those who served our country, can continue on in a career within a robust workforce. I hope to see you there this November.
Jordana Megonigal is a writer, business owner, and founder of The RECON Network, which is focused on purpose-based transition and career planning resources for veterans and military spouses, including The VET Summit. She is based out of Moore, South Carolina.

Fluor’s Greenville office is the largest and most diverse of all its offices with approximately 1600 employees supporting most of the markets Fluor serves, including Government, Mining and Metals, Infrastructure, Advanced Technologies, Advanced Manufacturing, Life Sciences and Chemicals. Additionally, there are a number of Corporate and Functional groups located here.
When the coronavirus pandemic hit in March, we were executing a wide range of projects for Clients around the world. These projects ranged from small to mega in size and were in various stages of design completion. Some of these projects were specifically being developed to produce COVID-19 vaccine and therapeutic treatments, which brings us great pride in helping these companies help to conquer this virus.
As a global Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management (EPCM) company, one of our Core Values is Safety, embodied in Health, Safety and Environmental principles. That said, our number one focus was on the health and safety of our employees, followed by the successful execution of our ongoing projects.
Since much of our business is considered “essential,” notably the Life Sciences, Infrastructure and Government work we opted to remain “open for business,” while aggressively drawing down the resources in the office and sending employees home to work. Within one week, we surveyed every employee’s equipment and identified gaps which would prevent them from being able to execute their job remotely. Our information technology and engineering teams worked around the clock to fulfill each individual’s needs- ranging from remote access tokens, to laptops and other hardware required to enable the heavy 3D CAD design work remotely. In parallel, we established a Greenville based COVID 19 Task Force which worked in tandem with the Corporate Task Force to leverage learnings and best practices, which seemed to be changing daily.
Within three weeks, we had reduced the headcount in our two office buildings to an average of sixty per day, or 3-4% of the total population. We initiated security protocols to manage the headcount and updated our facility plans with engineered and administrative controls to reduce any transmission risk. We rolled out our infection control plan with an increased schedule for sanitizing and disinfecting, enhanced air quality, modified safe practices for COVID-19, and a significant signage campaign, while providing frequent communications to all employees.
Additionally, we added daily touchless electronic temperature testing and health screening as requirements for access.
Within the next few months, we also quickly redefined how we execute projects. That is, how we optimize collaboration and innovation while working in our own homes versus doing what we’ve always done sitting right next to each other for the last hundred years. We established a number of teams to identify deficiencies and opportunities and to develop practices to enhance our “Work from Home (WFH),” protocols. By all accounts, this new “normal” is working and our Clients are supportive. To date, we have had no projects canceled and we are seeing a new wave in project commitments fueling the backlog in 2021.
The resilience and flexibility of our employees has been impressive and also a catalyst for change “post pandemic.” We fully believe that a hybrid platform which includes some “work from home” and some “work from office” will be the way of the future and help us attract and retain the best talent in the industry.
Oct 30, 2020 | Safer Upstate, Staying on Top, Uncategorized
Following a series of four meetings convened through Ten at the Top (TATT), the Creating a Safer Upstate Discovery Committee has announced a series of recommendations designed to promote collaboration among stakeholders in fostering a culture in the Upstate that respects and values the lives of all officers and residents. To view the list of recommendations, click here.
The Discovery Committee was originally convened by Terence Roberts, Chairman of the Ten at the Top Board of Directors and the Mayor of the City of Anderson, following a number of highly publicized instances of police force across the country.
“While our region has been fortunate not to have seen the violence and social unrest that has occurred in other parts of the country, we do recognize that not every Upstate resident feels safe or trusts our law enforcement officers, Roberts said. “We felt with the platform already established by Ten at the Top to be a neutral convener, that we had an opportunity to proactively engage stakeholders across the region around the topic of creating a safer region for all residents.”
The Creating a Safer Upstate Discovery Committee consisted of more than 50 representatives from local governments, law enforcement, community organizations, faith leaders and Upstate businesses. The committee met virtually four times to discuss opportunities for how to create a united Upstate region where all stakeholders work collaboratively to ensure that we foster a culture that respects and values the lives of our law enforcement officers and all residents.
As the primary strategy, the Discover Committee recommends the development of a Safer Upstate Steering Committee to represent, support and communicate local efforts to improve relationships between law enforcement and community residents across the region. The Safer Upstate Steering Committee will focus on the following three goals:
1. Engage law enforcement officials, community leaders and residents to work together to build healthy working relationships that elevate mutual respect, value cultural differences, and acknowledge the roles and responsibilities that each play in creating safer Upstate Communities.
2. Provide regular opportunities for law enforcement and community leaders to convene to proactively discuss community issues and emerging law enforcement topics while exploring approaches that can be implemented across the Upstate Region.
3. Enhance public trust by identifying, sharing and implementing best practice approaches for developing a sustainable, healthy relationship between law enforcement officials and the greater Upstate Community.
The Steering Committee will be under the leadership of co-chairs Sheriff Rick Clark and Stinson Ferguson. Both Upstate natives, Sheriff Clark has been the sheriff of Pickens county since 2013 while Ferguson is Special Counsel for Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, P.A. in Greenville.
More information about the Safer Upstate initiative can be found at www.tenatthetop.org. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Safer Upstate Steering Committee is invited to reach out to Justine Allen, TATT Program Manager, at jallen@tenatthetop.org or 864-283-0346.
ABOUT TEN AT THE TOP
Comprised of public, private and civic leaders from across the ten-county Upstate South Carolina Region, Ten at the Top was created to connect and encourage regional collaboration through data-driven research and regular convening of leaders and citizens to address key issues facing the region. Ten at the Top works with regional partners to foster collaboration and strategic planning to enhance the economic vitality and quality of life for Upstate residents both today and as the region continues to grow. For more information, visit www.tenatthetop.org.
