Piedmont Technical College will host the first official meeting of the Drucker Society of South Carolina January 14, 2010.

The Drucker Institute, a division of Claremont Graduate University, was established in May 2006 to honor the memory of Peter F. Drucker, a well-known economist and leader in business management. Drucker Societies exist all over the world in an effort to stimulate effective management and ethical leadership by drawing on Drucker’s works and previous teachings for information and inspiration.

These volunteer organizations seek members who wish to be involved in making positive changes within their local communities. The Drucker Society of South Carolina has joined existing societies worldwide in this mission.

The agenda for the first meeting includes bringing interested individuals together to discuss the focus of the Drucker Society of South Carolina’s efforts to better our community. A sample of one of Drucker’s many works will be provided to those attending for prior study leading to discussion.

Lawrence Greenspun, Drucker Society Global Network Program Manager, visited Piedmont Technical College in August to bring a special presentation of The Drucker Society Global Network. Community leaders and other interested individuals attended to learn more about the Drucker Society of South Carolina and its potential to benefit the Greenwood area.

The inaugural meeting will be held in 102C of the James C. Self Conference Center from 9-10:30 a.m. A continental breakfast will be served. Anyone interested is invited to attend.
