Ben Burrows elected chair; Patricia named vice chair of Horry County markers commission
Summary
At a short meeting of the Horry County Historical Markers Commission, members approved minutes and elected Ben Burrows as chair and Patricia (Pat) as vice chair for 2026. Both elections were moved, seconded and approved without recorded opposition.
The Horry County Historical Markers Commission approved meeting minutes and elected officers for 2026 during a brief session.
Chair (S1) opened nominations for chairman; Committee member (S5) nominated Ben, and members approved the nomination. "I nominate Ben," S5 said, and the commission voted in favor. Chair (S1) then opened nominations for vice chair; S5 nominated Pat (Patricia) and S3 seconded. Members answered "Aye" with no recorded opposition and the chair declared both motions carried.
The vote followed routine procedure: the commission first approved the minutes of the April 28, 2025 meeting by voice vote (motion by S3, seconded by S1). There was no extended debate recorded on the officer elections. The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the chair announced the motions carried.
The newly elected officers will serve through the 2026 calendar year, and members did not attach conditions or amendments to the appointments during the meeting.
