Board Member in the News


While you were out and about during the holiday season, you may have seen this billboard containing the very familiar face and trademark smile of our Board Member Les Echols. In December 2021, Les was honored by Florence Toyota as one of their Everyday Heroes! Les is the Director of Community and Minority Enterprise for the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce. He actively supports business and community endeavors through his work at the Chamber and through his extensive volunteerism outside of his official capacity with the Chamber. He has been been an active member of the Pee Dee Workforce Development Board and most recently completed a 3-year term as Chair.

Aaron "A.J." Jones, Operating Partner at Florence Toyota stated "[I am] very honored to have you on our billboards, Les Echols. We all appreciate everything you do for our community."

Congratulations, Les!
