Perry Williams was selected chairman of the Greer Commission of Public Works Board of Commissioners at Monday’s regular monthly meeting.
Williams replaces Jeff Howell, who served as chairman since 2014. Williams was first elected to the board in 2009 and served as chairman from 2011 through 2012. Howell was recently re-elected to his fourth term on the Board of Commissioners.
Commissioner Eugene Gibson nominated Williams as chairman of the three-member board with Howell seconding the motion.
“We are blessed to have excellent leadership on our board,” said Jeff Tuttle, Greer CPW General Manager. “All three of our members are dedicated servants. Their long tenure and business expertise have been invaluable as we’ve grown over the last several decades.”
“Sincerely, I’m very humbled to serve as your chairman,” Williams said. “It’s a pleasure to be part of this organization.”
Traditionally the board chairmanship rotates every two years beginning Jan. 1. Williams will serve until 2018.
