The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce (MBACC) and Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is continuing efforts to develop creative solutions to the worker shortages faced by businesses throughout the Grand Strand.
In a letter to chamber investors sent Monday, April 19, MBACC President and CEO Karen Riordan wrote:
“Many of you have reached out to us at the chamber and CVB to see how we can help you with the severe workforce shortages we are experiencing throughout the Grand Strand.
