The Public Policy Forum focuses research and discussion on Public Policy in South Carolina, its issues and how they may be resolved. The role of the Forum is one of dialogue, discussion and exploration – the Forum does not take explicit positions on the issues.
Public Policy Forum Goal
The hope is that participants gain an understanding of Public Policy issues so they can take leadership or collaborative roles outside Liberty Fellowship to develop and implement solutions that will positively impact South Carolina.
