The Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce’s annual Leadership-Vance program has recently been completed for this year. Sandra C. Wilkerson, director of administration and events for the Chamber, thanks the 2018 Leadership-Vance hosts in the letter below:

Dear Leadership-Vance Hosts,

As Leadership-Vance 2018 comes to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to you and your staff for hosting the group at your business. Your warm welcome and presentation was very enlightening and was a great learning experience for the entire group. Without you, this program would not happen.

As you are aware, the Leadership-Vance program is a proven, structured program, designed to create a corps of informed and dedicated emerging leaders in our community. The intensive training and exposure to all aspects of the community provides participants with the historical background and skills necessary for volunteer civic and community positions. It also benefits participants in their business and career goals.

I would like to encourage you and/or your staff to apply for our upcoming 2019 class. Information will go out at the end of this year.

Again, thank you for being a part of this program.

Sincerely,

Sandra C. Wilkerson

J.M White Funeral Home Receives Chamber’s Small Business Award

/by

The Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce held their annual Small Business of the Year luncheon at Henderson Country Club on Wednesday, May 2.

Vance County Commissioner Archie Taylor, Jr. served as speaker for the luncheon. A 2017 Small Business of the Year award was presented to one business from each of the counties represented in the four-county service area.

Receiving this year’s awards were J.M. White Funeral Home – Vance County; Granville Insurance Agency, Inc. – Granville County; Winslow Custom Homes – Franklin County; and Robinson Ferry Restaurant & Spirits – Warren County.

J.M. White Funeral Home is a locally owned business that has been serving the community since 1967. The business is currently managed by Betty White and her sons Scott and Jerry White.

In a phone call to Betty White, she said she and her staff were very honored to receive the award and “are grateful to have served the community for 51 years.”

“This honor would not be possible without the dedication of our staff who give the very best service as they interact with those who have lost loved ones,” White said.

The funeral home has been a long-time Chamber member and supporter, a part of the North Carolina Funeral Director’s Association and active in local organizations.

“We are so appreciative to the citizens of Vance County for their support through the years,” White said. “What an honor for both our family and staff.”
