business outlook - henderson-vance chamber - may 11, 2011

The Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Com-merce is celebrating local small business by hosting the annual Small Business Luncheon on May 19. The event, co-hosted by the Franklin, Granville and Warren County chambers and the Vance-Granville Community College Small Business Center, will be held at the Henderson Country Club beginning at noon.

Sponsors are Centu-ryLink, presenting spon-sor; Express Employment Professionals, silver spon-sor; and Kittrell Job Corps Center, bronze sponsor.

The luncheon will feature keynote speaker Todd Davis, area vice president of sales for CenturyLink’s Mid-Atlantic Region. He leads a team of approximately 110 salespeople and engineers

serving business clients.Davis began his career

in commercial banking at SunTrust Banks Inc. and worked for BellSouth International prior to join-ing Sprint. He graduated cum laude from Harvard College with a bachelor’s degree in history and holds a master’s in busi-ness administration from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. After joining Sprint Corpora-tion’s executive develop-ment program in July 1996, Davis has held positions in consumer Internet services, strategic planning, product development and sales and marketing. He has led a seven-state sales region

since the mid-2009 forma-tion of CenturyLink. Davis, his wife Catherine, and their two sons live in North Raleigh.

The annual spring lun-cheon is part of a national effort to educate communi-ties on the importance of small businesses to the local economy. A quote from the United States Small Business Administration states: “We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America’s future, and to helping the United States compete in today’s global marketplace.” SBA statistics show that more than half of Americans either own or work for a small business. They also create 60 to 80 percent of new jobs in the country.

The event will conclude

with the presentation of the Vance County Small Business of the Year. This will be the 10th consecutive year that the Chamber has presented this award.

Franklin, Granville and Warren counties will also award Small Business of the Year honors for their counties.

Former recipients of the Vance County award include Henderson Wellness Center, Franklin Brothers Nursery & Greenhouses Inc., Ballet Arts, Interiors, Fogg’s Exxon, Vance Furni-ture, Gray’s Gourmet, The Peanut Roaster and Raemac Transportation.

The event will include lunch and the seminar. For more information or to reg-ister, contact the Chamber at (252) 438-8414 or [email protected].

On March 22, a gradua-tion celebration was held for the 2010-2011 session of the Teacher Executive Institute (TEI). The annual pro-gram, now in its 17th year, concluded with a dinner and ceremony at Middleburg Steak House.

Trixie Brooks, executive director of curriculum and instruction for Vance Coun-ty Schools, was the featured speaker for the graduation dinner and ceremony. She praised all of the TEI par-ticipants for their dedication to their craft and for taking part in such an important leadership program.

Brooks also urged all of the educators to promote all of the good things they are doing in their classrooms and all of the good things happening with youth in their schools. She stressed that the local community needs to know about the positive aspects of local public schools and the great work which occurs in them everyday.

Each graduate was pre-sented a framed certificate by George Fowler, executive director of the Vance County Public School Foundation, and Lisa Bolton of Walmart Distribution Center #6091

in Henderson, which spon-sored the graduation and dinner.

During the institute, Vance County classroom teachers, counselors and media specialists attended four all-day sessions focus-

ing on team building, profes-sional development, tours of local industries, meeting local business executives and learning about the history of Henderson and Vance County. The results strengthen the partnership

between the professionals in education and the business community. The program offers educators a chance to network and share ideas with one another and also talk with business leaders

about how they can work together to prepare students for the future work force.

TEI is funded by the Vance County Public School Foundation, a nonprofit or-ganization funded by private

contributions, foundation grants and local business donations. The program is co-sponsored by the Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Commerce.

Following are the corporate sponsors for the 2010-2011 session of the TEI program:

• Gold — CenturyLink, Progress Energy, and Wal-mart Distribution Center #6091

• Silver — Carolina Quality, Supply Line Coun-try Market and Dr. Beverly Tucker

• Bronze — Wayne Ad-cock, Endrusick Enterprises, Henderson Family YMCA, J.M. White Funeral Service, Sylvan Learning Center, Vance County Farm Bureau and M.R. Williams Inc.

The Henderson-Vance County Chamber of Com-merce hosted a luncheon honoring administrative assistants and other pro-fessional support staff on April 26 at the Henderson Country Club.

The speaker for this year’s event was Alex-Sandra Lett, noted story-teller, publisher and author. Through her company, Southern Books & Talks, Lett publishes books and presents programs on a variety of topics. As a writer and as a speaker, her intention is to express her creativity and to help others discover passion and purpose in their work and meaning in every aspect of their lives.

Lett addressed the crowd in the character of “Sandy

Lynn” who told stories of her Southern roots and childhood on a farm in rural North Carolina.

In her presentation, Lett encouraged attendees not to listen too much to what others say about you, figure out what you’re good at and what you want to do, and have a good attitude.

The sell-out event was one of the most attended ever with over 160 present.

The luncheon is spon-sored each year by the Chamber of Commerce of Warren County, the Granville County Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Franklin County Chamber, the Henderson-Vance Coun-ty Chamber of Commerce and the Vance-Granville Community College Small Business Center.

Norman Shearin, superinten-dent of Vance County Schools for the past eight years, was honored at a retirement banquet on April 26.

A large crowd gathered in the Southern Vance High School caf-eteria to offer their best wishes to Shearin, who officially retired on April 30. “It seems like he has been here 15 years,” Vance Coun-ty Board of Education Chairman Margaret Ellis said. “He has been such a great superintendent and has always erred on the side of the students, and we all thank him for that.”

During the event, piano music was presented by Eaton-Johnson Middle School Principal Larry Webb, Ph.D. Also speaking at the event were Vance County Commissioner Terry Garrison and former commissioner Danny Wright. “On behalf of the county commissioners, it is an honor to congratulate you on your retire-ment,” Garrison said. “I want to commend you for the calm, poise and the leadership you have

shown as superintendent. You are going to be missed and we wish you the very best.” Wright added: “Dr. Shearin would never let us forget the most important thing for county commissioners is the education of our citizens, and we thank him for that.”

On behalf of the Vance County School Board, board member Gloria White presented Shearin with a rocking chair and a set of luggage. White said of Shearin: “He would go into his own pocket, not just look in the budget, to give something to a child.”

Shearin thanked the speak-ers for their kind words and expressed his appreciation of everyone he has worked with. “I think we have made a lot of prog-ress, but it always needs to be for the kids,” Shearin said. “Vance County Schools have great prin-cipals and teachers who are there for the kids constantly.”

Ronald Gregory, assistant superintendent of Vance County Schools, became interim superin-tendent on May 1.
