Р. Эндрю Фолкс

Выросший в Ланкастере, Южная Каролина, Эндрю глубоко укоренился в своем родном штате и обществе. Он окончил Пресвитерианский колледж и является преданным выпускником. Эндрю получил степень магистра в области массовых коммуникаций в Университете Южной Каролины и с энтузиазмом следит за спортивными программами Пресвитерианского колледжа Blue Hose и Gamecocks по сей день.

After beginning his career in advertising/public relations, Andrew joined South Carolina Power Team in 2008 and has acquired more than a decade of economic development experience. As a valued member of the Power Team, he oversees the business retention and expansion (BRE) program where he spends significant amounts of time in communities across the state, joining electric cooperative personnel in direct meetings with co-op served commercial members. Andrew strives to make industrial expansion more achievable by creating partnerships that enhance the success of companies on the cooperative power system.

Andrew and his wife, Julia, along with their daughter, Isabelle, live in Columbia’s historic Shandon neighborhood. They are members at Shandon Presbyterian Church, where Andrew is an ordained elder and deacon. In addition, he is an active member of the Rotary Club of Five Points, formerly serving as President. The organization recognized his service by awarding him 2022-23 Rotarian of the Year. Making family a priority, Andrew enjoys spending time with both his and Julia’s extended families.

важнее для электрических кооперативов, чем их члены. Работая вместе с ними, поскольку они заботятся об отраслях
и предприятия в сфере их обслуживания очень полезны».
