Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro recently visited Beaufort and attended a graduation ceremony aboard MCRD Parris Island. Secretary Del Toro is responsible for the welfare of more than 900,000 sailors, Marines, reservists, and civilian personnel. While in town, he hosted a dialogue with small business defense contractors in which he discussed the various challenges of working with the federal government and the actions being taken by the Department of Defense to improve those conditions. Following the event, Mr. Ian Scott, President & CEO of the Beaufort Regional Chamber, had the opportunity to highlight all the work being done by the Military Enhancement Committee and the Governor’s Military Base Task Force to support the region’s installations and servicemembers.
