PCC Board Transitions

Our Coalition work couldn't advance without the tireless dedication and efforts of countless members of our board, committees, and volunteer ranks. This summer, the PCC board saw more changes than years past, due to a growing commitment to diversify leadership and recover from a pandemic recruitment lull. We are grateful for the generous energy and efforts of every board member, but we make special note to Paul LeFrancois and Jim Cox, who served for countless years on the PCC board. Read more here:
In addition, Katie Zimmerman of Charleston Moves rolled off after 2 terms. Katie was a valuable force as part of the Executive Committee and helped shepherd the organization into greater mission relevancy. She remains a tireless advocate for safe and accessible mobility in Charleston County.
