Three business leaders from the Lowcountry and Upstate were inducted into Junior Achievement of Greater South Carolina’s S.C. Business Hall of Fame in recognition for their integrity, leadership, respect and history of civic achievement.
Last week’s announcement followed a live-streamed event honoring Marva Smalls, executive vice president of public affairs, kids and family entertainment, as well as the global head of inclusion at ViacomCBS Media Networks; Frank Warner Brumley, CEO of the Daniel Island Co.; and Richard Pennell Jr., president and CEO of Metromont Corp.

Business Hall of Fame laureates serve as role models to current and future generations, inspiring them not just to excel but to give back,” Casey Pash, president and CEO of Junior Achievement of Greater S.C., said in the announcement.
