American Association of Blacks in Energy-South Carolina Chapter

We aim to educate our communities, promote STEM careers, and empower energy professionals. Josie K. Claiborne was the chapter’s first president.

The SC Chapter of the American Association of Blacks in Energy (SCCAABE) was chartered in 1984. Headquartered in Columbia, it is one of 35 chapters located in the United States. SCCAABE is instrumental in shaping energy policy, providing education on current industry issues, and analyzing its impact on South Carolinians. Through mentoring activities and scholarship awards, SCCAABE also encourages minority students to pursue technical degrees and choose careers in the energy industry.
