The Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber is pleased to announce the 2023 Board of Directors with the addition of several new members. Marshall Connor, Trident Technical College, will lead the Board as Chairman in 2023.
“The Chamber Board of Directors is a team of business professionals who are committed to our community’s business climate and a bright future,” Rita Berry, Chamber President and CEO, said.
The Board met late in 2022 to accept its new Board members (indicated below by an asterisk) and strategize priorities for 2023. These priorities were guided by feedback from member surveys.
“The members serving on the Board of Directors share a vision for our region and a commitment to helping it grow,” Berry said.
Key initiatives include: supporting infrastructure; creating micro-networking opportunities; and further strengthening our partnership with the schools in Dorchester County.
