Why did Thomas W. Parry start Linking the Upstate?

Four years ago, he chose the Upstate as the place where he wanted to live, raise his family, and establish his business. Essentially the only way he can envision himself leaving is being pulled out by his bootstraps. He believes community is only as good as what you give to it! The Upstate is filled with an enormous pool of talented professionals, so if we just take some time and energy we can link the Upstate. We truly believe that by linking the Upstate, we will all reap the benefits for generations to come.

Who benefits from participating in Linking the Upstate events?

Any professional (employed or not) who wants to network with other professionals and help build the Greenville community. Anyone seeking professional and personal betterment through active participation in networking and seminar events. Any professional “locked” into closed networking group(s) who could benefit from having more people know them and their business.
