About Bosco Cole
Bosco has amassed extensive experience throughout his career, with deep involvement in diverse sectors such as politics, law, civic engagement, and faith-based communities.
Born in the Panama Canal Zone, Bosco had the opportunity to travel extensively with his family from an early age, exposing him to a rich tapestry of cultures and perspectives. This early exposure cultivated within him a profound appreciation for the inherent goodness of humanity, transcending distinctions of color, race, or ethnicity.
His journey into community and political service began during his time at the University of South Carolina, where he pursued a major in Business Administration. It was there, during a summer internship, that he served as Activities Coordinator for West Point cadets and later as a House Page to several house members, including a future governor of South Carolina.
A pivotal figure in Bosco's life was Lon Day, Jr., co-founder of Days Inn, who became both a friend and mentor. Through Day's teachings, conveyed through parables of tenacity and perseverance, Bosco learned the true essence of philanthropy, emphasizing the importance of contributing both time and money for lasting impact.
For over a decade, Bosco dedicated his efforts to organizing, planning, and co-chairing the highly successful nonpartisan Congressman John Lewis Multicultural Festival in Atlanta. This celebrated event, inspired by Lewis's vision of the "Beloved Community," united local community members, global representatives, and government consulates in a celebration of diversity and dignity.
In addition to his involvement in the festival, Bosco has volunteered with civic, faith-based, and nonprofit organizations across the nation. His overarching mission has always been to serve as a catalyst for positive change within bipartisan, diverse, and inclusive spaces. Positioned as an observer, thinker, visionary, doer, and voice of the people, Bosco continues to strive for a better tomorrow.
