Experience Columbia SC just released the list of their 2021 Columbia Ambassadors – a.k.a. the impressive locals chosen to rep our city this year.

Backstory: The ambassador program aims to expand the reach + impact of Columbia SC’s regional marketing efforts by telling fresh stories of the city through the eyes of its biggest local cheerleaders. Each of the ambassadors help create content for Experience Columbia SC about their areas of expertise (music, outdoors, education, etc.). The biggest goal? To celebrate local people + their experiences, helping to share our city’s story with visitors and foster local pride. 🌟

This year’s ambassadors join the group of 8 “alumni” ambassadors from 2019 and 2020.

Now for the drumroll, please. 🥁
