Holder values her time with friends and family as well as her service to the community. As President of the Board of the Carolina Ballet Theater, she had worked hard to increase the number of professional dancers and budget limits. Holder is also involved with the SC Children’s Theater, The Children’s Museum and various other civic organizations.
