Ten at the Top Executive Director makes presentation to the Greenville RECAB

Dean Hybl, Executive Director of Ten at the Top served as the guest speaker at the June 16, 2011 Greenville Regional Education Center Advisory Board meeting. Mr. Hybl shared with the board members the mission, vision and strategic plan for Ten at the Top.



About Ten at the Top

Ten at the Top was created to foster a spirit of cooperation and collaboration among public, private and nonprofit leaders from across the ten-county Upstate South Carolina Region.

For more than a year, Ten at the Top engaged over 10,000 Upstate residents, community leaders, elected officials and business leaders in a conversation about "What Matters Most" as we look toward a future where the 10-county Upstate region is projected to add more than 275,000 residents and 200,000 jobs between now and 2030.

The culmination of this effort was the Our Upstate Vision, which represents a picture of what residents want the Upstate to aspire to over the next two decades. The vision calls for the 10-county Upstate region in 2030 to be universally recognized as one of the leading places in the United States to live, learn, do business and raise a family.

It is a bold vision that outlines five driver areas that can help make it achievable. Those areas are: Human Potential, Economic & Entrepreneurial Vitality, Sustainable Growth, Natural Beauty & Resources and Community Vibrancy.
