Debi Brannon Honored as Powdersville Advisory Board Member of the Year

The Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce proudly facilitates the Powdersville Business Council (PBC), which is led by a group of nine Advisory Board members. The PBC promotes the well-being of the business, professional and industrial community of the Powdersville area. As part of the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce 77th Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration on March 13, the chamber honored Debi Brannon of WonderWell Vacations as the recipient of the 2024 Powdersville Advisory Member of the Year. Selected by members of the PBC Advisory Board, this award honors an Advisory Board member who leads by example and has kept others motivated and engaged. Debi Brannon joined the Powdersville Advisory in January of 2022, well into the planning for the launch of Rhythm on the Rive. She then became the treasurer in 2023. She started with the PBC Advisory Board as the owner of Eggs Up Grill Powdersville. Once the business was sold, she ensured the new owner was involved and in the loop with the Powdersville Business Council and the Easley Chamber, making it an easy transition. She dedicated much of her time to help secure Eggs Up Grill Powdersville as one of the caterers for the PBC luncheons, pushed for Eggs Up Grill to be the lunch sponsor for the PBC Golf Tournament, and took part in providing giveaways to golfers and Litter Pick-Up Powdersville volunteers. She ensured attendees were motivated to attend events hosted by the group. She was even more vital when it came to launching Rhythm on the River on May 7th, 2022. She advocated for quality and while competing with the Azelea Festival that year, she boosted morale for the group to give it their all. The event was successful and bigger than expected. The food trucks sold out their food, kids were satisfied with their goodies, dogs were adopted, parents were happy with their kids being happy, craft vendors sold many of their products, the music was great, and it all went without a hitch. She helped to push it to be an annual event and became a founding member of Connect Powdersville; created to maintain the growth and success of Rhythm on the River. The event is now a staple event for the Powdersville Community. She helped to do this, all while being a dedicated mother and wife, and a small business owner of WonderWell Vacations. She is a true asset to our PBC Advisory Board, the Powdersville community, and the Easley Chamber. Please join the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce and Powdersville Business Council Advisory Board in honoring Debi Brannon as the 2024 Powdersville Advisory Board Member of the Year.
