On July 29, 2026, Charlita Moss was honored at the annual SC Women in Business recognition luncheon in Greenville, South Carolina. She was one of 126 women recognized by Integrated Media Publishing for their contributions across industries including banking, health care, nonprofits, manufacturing, and more.
South Carolina has always had a strong business community. But behind the growth, the innovation, and the thriving economy, there’s a group of women who show up every single day—leading teams, building organizations, mentoring the next generation, and making the Palmetto State a better place to live and work.
What Is the SC Women in Business Recognition?
The SC Women in Business recognition is an annual event hosted by Integrated Media Publishing that highlights women making a meaningful impact across South Carolina’s economy. Each year, the publication reviews dozens of nominees from a wide range of industries, ultimately selecting honorees who demonstrate leadership, professional excellence, and a commitment to their communities.
The 2026 class included 126 recognized women, alongside 11 Women to Watch—early-career professionals who are just beginning to carve out their paths in South Carolina’s business landscape. Together, these honorees represent the full breadth of industries that power the state, from banking and health care to education, interior design, manufacturing, and nonprofits.
The recognition isn’t just a list. It’s a celebration of what women are building in South Carolina—and a reminder of how far that influence reaches.
Who Is Charlita Moss?
Charlita Moss is a testament to what dedicated, purpose-driven leadership looks like. Her recognition among 126 honorees at the 2026 SC Women in Business event reflects not only her professional accomplishments but also the consistency with which she has contributed to her field and her community.
Being named to this list places Charlita among some of South Carolina’s most accomplished professionals—women who are shaping industries, developing talent, and driving economic progress across the state.
We are enormously proud of her and everything she represents.
What Made the 2026 Luncheon Special?
The luncheon itself was a highlight of the event. Beyond the recognition, it created space for something that doesn’t always happen at professional events: genuine conversation.
Attendees had the opportunity to hear directly from honorees—their perspectives on leadership, the challenges they’ve navigated, and the mentors who helped shape them along the way. Those stories added depth to the recognition. They turned a list of names into a room full of real experiences, hard-earned wisdom, and shared ambition.
There’s something powerful about hearing a woman describe the mentor who believed in her before she believed in herself, or explain how she built a team culture that outlasted her own tenure in a role. Those are the moments that stay with you long after the luncheon ends.
Why Women in Business Recognition Matters for South Carolina
South Carolina’s economy is diverse and growing. The industries represented at the 2026 Women in Business event—banking, health care, education, nonprofits, manufacturing, interior design, and more—reflect just how embedded women are in every corner of the state’s professional landscape.
Recognition events like this serve several important purposes:
- Visibility: They spotlight women whose contributions might otherwise go unnoticed beyond their immediate circles.
- Inspiration: For younger professionals and students watching, seeing women recognized at this level signals that leadership is accessible.
- Community: They bring together professionals from different industries who may not otherwise cross paths, fostering connections that benefit the broader business community.
- Accountability: Public recognition creates a record. It says: these women made a difference here, in this state, in this year.
The 11 Women to Watch included in the 2026 class add another meaningful dimension. These are early-career women who are just beginning their journeys—and being named alongside 126 established leaders sends a clear message about the kind of trajectory South Carolina wants to support.
Is there a mentor who has meant a lot to you in your career?
“There is only one mentor that I can attribute to my success and my outlook on life: my grandfather. The man who built Atchison Transportation from nothing because he had a dream of not being the man driving the taxi but to be the owner of the taxi.
He meant everything to me and taught me through his actions what it means to persevere and work hard in a system that is fighting against you”.
Congratulations to the Full 2026 Class
Charlita Moss’s recognition is a proud moment for us—but it’s important to acknowledge every woman honored at the 2026 SC Women in Business luncheon.
All 126 honorees, plus the 11 Women to Watch, represent the very best of what South Carolina’s professional community has to offer. They come from different industries, different backgrounds, and different corners of the state. What they share is a commitment to excellence and a willingness to lead.
To each of them: congratulations. Thank you for the work you do, the teams you build, and the communities you serve. South Carolina is better because you’re here.
