The 50 women highlighted this year were selected by the publishers of Who’s On The Move MidlandsBiz, UpstateBizSC, LowcountryBizSC, along with several professional writers and editorial thought leaders from around the state based on those women making an impact in four areas: women in the C-suite, women in traditionally male-dominated industries, women entrepreneurs, and women advocating for equality and justice. In previous years, each nominee was placed into one of these categories. However, we strongly believe many of these women fall into multiple categories, so this year there are no categories.

“As we recognize Women’s History Month, I am so incredibly proud of our Executive Director, Anne Caywood, on her inclusion in the 2026 Celebrating 50 South Carolina Women List” said Stephen Meyer, Chairman of the Board of LLV. “Anne’s inclusion on this prestigious list is a well-deserved recognition of her work ethic, sprit, and dedication to assisting historically underrepresented communities obtain equal access to our justice system. I know Anne will use this honor to continue to highlight the important work LLV does in pursuing access to justice in our state to help the Lowcountry’s most vulnerable citizens.”
