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

"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.”

"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.”

"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

“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.”

Scott DeBow

“I believe enabling stronger safety leadership, knowledge and resources throughout our communities is among our greatest opportunities to positively impact today's society, while equipping the next generation to lead into the future. Serving on the SCNSC Board allows me to contribute to the mission and strategic direction of an organization committed to saving lives, from the workplace to any place, across South Carolina and Georgia.”

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

“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.”

"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."
