Jane Garrett Honored as Downtown Easley Advisory Board Member of the Year

In November 2020, the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce proudly launched the Downtown Easley Business Council (DEBC) to provide support to businesses located in the TIF District of downtown. Our DEBC is led by a group of six Advisory Board members, and each year, the Advisory Board honors one of its members who has led by example and has kept others motivated & engaged in the downtown district. As part of the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce 77th Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration on March 13, Jane Garrett of Garland & George, Purveyors Of Quality Antiques was honored as the 2024 DEBC Advisory Board Member of the Year. Jane Garrett joined the board in 2022, where she has served as the secretary since. As secretary, she has helped to keep the council on track. She has helped to communicate our message & goals with downtown businesses. She ensures everyone is on board with decisions and events by making sure everyone is seen and heard. Jane has dedicated a lot of her time to helping the council move forward with the second mural of the Arts Trails in downtown Easley by allowing her business to be the location where it will be painted and unveiled later this spring. With her aid and ideas, the council and city representatives have been happy with the outcome of both renderings, the first completed last year at Venture Church and the second coming to you this May. She has done this while running her own business, which has been in downtown Easley over the last 12 years. Her grounded role has allowed us to move forward as a team and her enthusiasm to bring more to downtown has been vital in working with other downtown businesses to bring future events so that businesses can flourish as the City of Ealey continues to grow. Thanks to her commitment, we continue to build the foundation that our Downtown Council will continue to stand on for many years to come. Please join Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Easley Business Council in honoring Jane Garrett as the 2024 DEBC Advisory Board Member of the Year. [Picture coming at a later time]
