MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.—The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce (MBACC) and Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is teaming up with Lutheran Services Carolinas (LCS) to host an information session about the New Americans Program coming to the Grand Strand.

We look forward to their arrival and connecting them to our business community, job opportunities, nonprofits and services,” said Karen Riordan, MBACC President and CEO.

The New Americans Program Info Session will take place on Friday, Jan. 20, 2023, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the chamber’s boardroom located at 1200 N. Oak St. in Myrtle Beach.
