Melvin C. Williams, Business Developer with S&ME, Inc. has been re-appointed
to serve on the S.C. Centers of Economic Excellence (CoEE) Council of Chairs
Coordinating Committee for its 2010 State Conference. The CoEE Program was
established by the South Carolina General Assembly in 2002, funded through
South Carolina Education Lottery proceeds.
The legislation authorizes the state's three public research institutions,
Medical University of South Carolina, Clemson University and the University of
South Carolina, to use state funds to create Centers of Economic Excellence in
research areas that will advance South Carolina's economy.
Each Center of Economic Excellence is awarded from $2 million to $5 million
in state funds, which must be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis with
non-state funds.
The CoEE Council of Chairs was establish in 2009 and its mission is to
advise, coordinate, and provide leadership for South Carolina in matters
related to science and technology and to maximize the benefits of the CoEE
Program by coalescing state-wide resources to enhance the regional economy
and science base. Plans are to hold a state conference again this year to
highlight previous and new Centers of Economic Excellence and to showcase the
CoEE Program.
