I love being a part of the City of Greenville, South Carolina community. I am also honored to be a member of the Rotary Club of Greenville (SC) where I am given the opportunity to help our community thanks to incredible partners like Rebuild Upstate. Rotary member Amy Randall did an excellent job of capturing the day where we helped build a deck for a community friend to give them access to be able to enjoy this place we call home.

Why should businesses invest in their communities through donations and service? Advisory Council Member of the Quarter Michael Pope says it best: "By giving back to the community through monetary and/or volunteer efforts, a business can position itself as a good community partner.?While helping the individuals who benefit from their generosity, the business can develop a positive working environment for their employees who share their values of supporting the community.?It is truly a win-win proposition." We couldn't agree more! Join us in celebrating Mike for his leadership and dedication to service. ?? Mike is a business banker and vice president at United Bank and has served on Rebuild Upstate's advisory council for two years. We are grateful for community partners like Mike and United Bank for their commitment to giving back. #communitypartner #upstateSC #bankerswhocare
