Charleston Metro Chamber Submits 2023 Board of Directors Candidates

Each year, the Chamber’s Board of Directors will have one-third of its members complete their three-year board service term. The Charleston Metro Chamber’s Board Nominating Committee annually submits 20 candidates to replace the sitting directors who have fulfilled their service term. Directors are eligible to be nominated for and serve three consecutive three-year terms.

The 2022 Board Nominating Committee was chaired by Chamber Chair, Kyra Morris and included Chamber Chair-elect, Joe Grech,  Immediate Past Chamber Chairman, Marc Marchant, as well as Board Directors Len Hutchison, Tammy Coghill, Elizabeth Burwell, Bobby Teachey II and President and CEO, Bryan Derreberry. The committee has selected a slate of prospective directors to serve on next year’s Board of Directors.

We are sharing this slate with you to present the business leaders who have been invited to represent you and our overall Chamber membership. Additional names of candidates for director may be nominated by petition bearing the signatures of at least 100 members in good standing with the Charleston Metro Chamber. The deadline for filing this petition is November 30, 2022. If no petition is filed within this period, the nominations will be closed and the candidates will be declared elected by the Chamber Board of Directors at its regular December Board meeting.
