Board of Directors

Pauline Lewis

President

“My passion for improving the work environment comes from a personal experience with a family member injured at work when she was a child. Then, through my education, I was exposed to different challenges that workers and employers face when maintaining and improving safety in the work environment.”

Regina Creech

Vice President

"It is incredibly rewarding to work with other professionals from various backgrounds to improve workforce and community health and safety. NSC programs directly impact where we live, work, learn and play.”

Nichole Spivey

Past President

“I am proud to serve on the SCNSC Board who seeks to improve the knowledge about the magnitude, the causes, and the predisposing components of unintentional injuries by empowering the communities with educational programs to reduce fatalities.”

Will Hinson

Secretary / Treasurer

“I am honored to be able to serve an organization that focuses on saving lives both at work and at home in our communities. It is very rewarding to be able to help shape the direction, goals, and strategy of such an organization while collaborating with safety minded professionals across various backgrounds.”

Marcus K. Gore

Member-at-Large

"I regularly see the consequences of poor driving habits and the tremendous toll those decisions make on family and friends. SCNSC works tirelessly to educate drivers, particularly teen drivers, on the impact of unsafe behavior on the road. I stand proud in our efforts to increase awareness of safe driving practices and reduce fatalities on our roadways.”

Adam Baswell

"I've dedicated my career to maintaining safety and security, and my role with SCNSC is a natural extension of this commitment. Every life has immense value, and if my efforts can save even one, then it's not just my duty but my privilege to serve. I believe together we can make a real difference in the Southeast and beyond."

Laura Comstock

Board Member

“I have built a career to focus on workplace safety and the key to workplace safety is having committed leadership and a well-trained, well-supplied workforce. SCNSC uses the same philosophies I have used throughout my career not only in the workplace, but in the broader community…train, train, train and then make sure they have the right tools and suitable support systems to be successful.”

Chris Garner

Board Member

“I enjoy working with the Council as this organization offers training that greatly improves the quality of life for all of us.”

Tim Hinson

Board Member

“I first got involved with the National Safety Council because of Alive at 25. Working with school districts everyday, I saw the need for such a valuable program for today’s young people. But the Southeastern Chapter of the National Safety Council is so much more than one program. Our involvement in corporate and community safety has been a wonderful place to give my time.”

Rick Hubbard

Board Member

Larry Lucas

“I’ve been working the SCNSC for many years. Having been involved with the tremendous growth of this organization, and watching the impact of all of the various programs, I truly believe this group of great folks is making a real difference in our community and beyond.”

Bryan Tolar

“SCNSC is an important resource for BlueCross BlueShield. It’s helped us build a culture of safety. As a Board Member, I expect to gain a better appreciation of how other organizations like ours are developing a safety culture and what techniques they are using to meet their goals.”

Todd Buehrig

"Leading this organization is an honor! Our work at SCNSC has the power to save lives, protect communities, and ensure everyone comes home safe. The impact we make across SC and GA is not measured in dollars, but in the safety education and well-being of those we serve."
