The Heritage at Lowman (Lutheran Homes of South Carolina) was thrilled to host SC SHRM South Carolina’s Society for Human Resource Management's annual inaugural Legislative Conference. SHRM South Carolina and Anderson University hosted the event at the Heritage at Lowman.

The 2026 Legislative Conference brought together business professionals, legal experts, and state leaders for a full day of timely insights into the policies and workplace issues shaping the year ahead.

The conference opened with a comprehensive overview of SHRM’s 2026 workplace legislative initiatives from Steve Nail, SC SHRM Legislative Director.

We heard directly from South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who shared his legislative initiatives aimed at supporting business growth across the state, and Bill Duda, Managing Shareholder at Ogletree Deakins, delivered a critical legal update on what employers must know in 2026.

In the afternoon, William Floyd , Executive Director of S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce, provided updates on South Carolina’s workforce programs and emerging opportunities. Lt. Governor Pamela Evette addressed the workplace challenges currently facing South Carolina employers, and the day concluded with Mary Kate Littlejohn from the EEOC, who offered valuable insight into what employers can expect from the EEOC in 2026 and beyond.

Bryan Gates, SHRM South Carolina State Director, said, “We are grateful to the Heritage at Lowman for hosting this event in their beautiful Wellness Center. We appreciate the efforts of the staff in welcoming attendees and helping make the conference a success.”

Sorry—your kids don’t want your stuff… or your parents’ stuff. 🧳📦

Many Millennials are finding themselves inheriting collections and belongings they don’t have space for or don’t know what to do with. It’s sparking important conversations about downsizing, organizing, and sharing stories before items are passed along.

From Frank Shepke, President & CEO, Lutheran Homes of SC: In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Fifty-eight years ago, a shot rang out that changed the world. It was an assassins’ bullet that silenced the voice of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. That shot may have silenced his physical voice, but it didn’t erase his work and his message for the ages.

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together”.

The power of his message still resonates today with us all. Goodness shall always conquer evil, love shall always conquer hate, and the glory of God is always there for us all who seek our heavenly father and live his word.

So, let’s take a moment today to reflect where we are on this journey, and give thanks for the blessings we have and the work that is left to do. May God bless us all and keep the faith!
