Greenville First Best & Brightest 2009

This year honored a tremendous group of talented young leaders – and our largest Greenville First Best & Brightest class to date. The event was held on September 29, 2009 at the BMW Performance Center where honorees and guests were able to start the evening speeding around the track in a BMW at over 120 mph. Heavy hors d'oeuvres from Ruth's Chris Steakhouse were enjoyed, along with specialty cocktails provided by South Carolina's own Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka. The evening progressed with an opening speech from Art Seaver, president of Greenville First Bank title sponsor, followed by an awards presentation by WYFF-TV's Nigel Robertson detailing the accomplishments of each honoree. The event wrapped up with a dessert and coffee bar and social gathering. Music was provided by Caleb Fletcher throughout the evening. The event was made possible by its many sponsors and volunteers from the Greenville community and we extend our thanks to them for their generous support.

Take the opportunity to meet each of the 35 members of the Best & Brightest class of 2009.

As 2009 begins to wind to a close, we look forward to seeing what our 2009 honorees continue to accomplish in their careers and community activism.
