LEADERSHIP TEAM

Experience In Action. Leading With Purpose.

Turning a mission into measurable change requires more than just passion—it requires experience, strategy, and a deep commitment to service. The Waccamaw Economic Opportunity Council is led by a diverse team of professionals with expertise in early childhood education, social work, financial management, and community planning. Together, our Leadership Team works tirelessly to translate our Board’s vision into daily action, ensuring that every program we run is efficient, effective, and responsive to the needs of the families we serve.
