On the recordMarch 31, 2003
no one has been more civically active in the Midlands of South Carolina than Charlie Cole, who was recently honored as the 2003 Ambassador of the Year by the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce. Charlie Cole, who is the Regional President of Wachovia Bank, is passionate about business and community development. Charlie serves as chairman, on the board, or as a member of over a dozen community organizations. Not content to just have his name on these committees, Charlie has taken an active leadership role, as he helped raise half a million dollars for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation over the past year. Charlie is a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Reserves, and a dedicated elder at Eastminster Presbyterian Church. His acts of generosity and kindness have endeared him to his neighbors, and Charlie Cole stands as a wonderful role model of community involvement. In conclusion, God bless our troops.
