Just like business leaders, those that are running nonprofits also need continuing education and leadership training.  For the past several years, the South Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations has been holding a summit to meet those needs and the next one is coming to Columbia on March 6th through the 8th.

Mike Switzer interviews Tom Keith, president of Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina and co-chair for the 2017 Nonprofit Summit.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
