As part of the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce 76th Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration on March 14, Joey Hawkins with Fort Hill Natural Gas Authority was honored as the 2023 Board Director of the Year. Each year, by secret ballot, the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors selects a Director of the Year. This honor recognizes a board member who has gone above and beyond the call of duty...someone who leads by example…someone who has kept others on course and motivated. For any organization’s success, there are many aspects that require oversight and due diligence, but no aspect is more important than financial management. Joey Hawkins has willingly served as Treasurer of the Easley Chamber Board of Directors for two consecutive years of 2022 and 2023. During that time, Joey has worked closely with chamber president, Cindy Hopkins, to oversee the chamber’s financial performance and also provide a detailed financial review at each monthly board meeting to explain our financial position to the full Board of Directors and answer any questions. In addition, Joey leads by example with excellent attendance at Board of Directors meetings, active participation in chamber events & programs, and encouraging other employees within his company to also be actively engaged in our chamber. Joey is a dedicated board member, diligent financial advisor, and loyal ambassador for our chamber. Please join the Greater Easley Chamber Board of Directors in honoring Joey Hawkins as our 2023 Board Director of the Year.
