Fayette County West Virginia www.fayettecounty.com • 304-465-5617 Cover photo: Gustavo Moser, WWP As a life-long resident of Fayette County, it is an honor to serve as President of the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. I am a product of 2 Fayette County schools: Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic School and Oak Hill High School. With that educational foundation, I graduated from Concord University and began working in the community I call home shortly after graduation. With professional advancement opportunities present, and limitless outdoor activities to keep my family busy, I am proud to raise my 3 children in our little piece of heaven. As a member of the commercial lending team at BB&T, I am privileged to serve the people of Southern West Virginia, helping to advance business activity in my home county. My role allows me to see first-hand the hard working nature and entrepreneurial spirit of the business community in Fayette Aaron Kemlock, Chair - BB&T County. The Chamber Board is a group motivated to advancing the local economy by providing businesses various networking opportunities and creative ways of marketing their business. 2018 promises to be a very exciting year and with this group’s spirit and enthusiasm, I am confident that Fayette County’s best days are ahead. I have had the pleasure of calling Fayette County my home for over 25 years. Fayette County is an amazing place to live, play, work and raise a family. As the Administrator of the local health department, I am committed to making sure our citizens have a healthy and safe environment in which to live. I am also dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles and helping to develop strong, healthy communities. Fayette County has so much to offer with its beauty and outdoor adventure activities. Being a member of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors over the past few years has given me an opportunity to work with various businesses. I feel privileged to work with such a dedicated group of business leaders. The Chamber works diligently to promote growth for its business members through collaboration, education, networking and marketing. Now with the major improvements being made to Teri Harlan, Vice Chair the education system, I believe we will see accelerated growth in Fayette County and I am happy to be a part of that. The future is looking bright for Fayette County. We would love to have you join us. Fayette County is a place of true beauty. It is the place I’ve called home for the last 29 years and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. No matter where my travels take me I love coming home. The people, the places, the outdoor experiences, the kindness and warmth of the community are unparal- leled, these things truly give a meaning of what it to call a place home. Being apart of the Chamber Board has given me opportunity to grow both in business and in my person life. It has given me the opportunity to get more involved in my community and lend a helping hand to projects and events that important to local business and for community growth. I am proud to be from Fayette County West Virginia and am proud to serve on the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce Board. Luke Lively, Second Vice Chair Serving with the Chamber has been a lot like Scouting. You come into the program not knowing anyone, so you build your relationships by volunteering on different projects. Building the team, furthering the call to action. Then you agree to become an officer and each year move into different chairs and responsibilities. This is my last position as an officer of the Chamber, the Past Chair. I’m not sure where the time went, but it was a pleasure to work with everyone and I want to thank you for making my four years some that I will fondly remember for a long time. I look forward to our continued partnership, different faces, new projects that will continue to move us forward for years to come.
