Aynor Area Chamber of Commerce – Reactivation Efforts: The Aynor Area Chamber of Commerce, which has been inactive since 2018, is currently undergoing a revitalization initiative. The organization’s 501(c)(6) tax exempt status, which was revoked on July 15, 2022, is in the process of being reinstated.
Current Leadership and Governance
A dedicated group of nine board members has been established to lead the reorganization efforts:
David Dorman, President
Sandy Davis, Vice President
Emily Griffin, Treasurer,
Ryan Graham, Secretary,
Tray Andrew, Board Member
Jamel Davis, Board Member,
Jill Dudley, Board Member
Paulette Johnson, Board Member
Sammi Jo Lewis, Board Member
Key Activities and Outreach
The current board began convening in early 2024 to formalize the reactivation process. As part of these efforts, the board has actively engaged with neighboring chambers of commerce to seek guidance, exchange ideas, and gather best practices to ensure a successful relaunch of the Aynor Area Chamber of Commerce.
