Charles Skipper
Supervisor, Shareholder Services
SCANA Corporation
Hi, I am Charles Skipper with SCANA Corporation located in Columbia, SC. SCANA is a utility holding company and I started with the company out of college, with a BS in Accounting, working in our utility Customer Accounting area. After a brief stint in our Rate Making Department and a move back to Customer Accounting I was given the “opportunity” to move into Shareholder Services in August 1990. Since being in Shareholder Services I have seen the department move from using co-transfer agents to doing everything in-house on the CSSII system. We started one of the first direct purchase plans in 1993 and have been through every phase of shareholder service activity to include a stock split, several mergers and moving to DTC FAST. Even though we are a small issuer/transfer agent we attempt to provide all the services of larger agents and are looking at implementing DRS in 2005. I have served on the CSSII user board; the SESTA, regional STA, board; and currently serve on the SSA board. I am married with four daughters, one grandson (thanks for another male in the family) and one granddaughter.
