While Charleston is highly recognized in terms of rich history and elegant charm, North Charleston should be on your radar whether it be a daytrip or your next vacation. With a blend of modern and historic, North Charleston displays a different kind of southern charm. With half the price and twice the fun, you will find yourself wanting to stay in a North Charleston hotel. The city is perfect for proximity due to the fact that it’s right in the middle of the Charleston region. You are only 15 minutes from historic downtown, 20 minutes away from the beaches, and just down the road from your next shopping experience.

Any United Way professional working in the southeast region of the U.S. is encouraged to attend. There will be a wide range of learning opportunities, so staff members in every department will learn something relevant to their work. Learn about what content will be offered on the Registration Page.
