Leadership Columbia is a program offered by the Columbia, S.C., Chamber of Commerce to nurture and engage the leadership skills of current and potential leaders by providing opportunities for professional development, community involvement and networking.

Topics include education, politics and government, arts and culture, economic development, health and human services, criminal justice and law enforcement, military affairs, recreation, and the environment and tourism.

Each year about 60 local leaders are selected to participate. Upon graduation, participants are invited and encouraged to join the more than 2,000 alumni serving the Midlands and communities all over the United States.

Haley’s participation continues a Robinson Gray tradition of attorney involvement in the program including recent graduates La’Jessica Stringfellow (class of 2022), Lisle Traywick (2020), Rachel Hutchens (2019), and Nick Haigler (2010), who is also former chair of the Leadership Columbia Advisory Board.
