Big South Fork Medical Center CEO Hal Leftwich will serve as president of the Scott County Chamber of Commerce in 2024, while Linda Byrge of For the Love of Paws will serve as vice president.
Those were the nominations submitted by the Chamber of Commerce’s Nominating Committee to the Board of Directors at Thursday’s annual meeting, which was held at the Scott County Senior Citizens Center in Oneida. Directors approved the nominations by an all-aye vote.
The outgoing officers were Roane State Community College campus director Sharon Wilson as president and Independent Herald’s Ben Garrett as vice president.

Three new faces were elected to the Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors at Thursday’s meeting, including Ralph Trieschmann of Timber Rock Lodge, Jagger Coffey of S.T.A.N.D., and Dianna Massey of Integrity Tax Service.
Retiring directors were Cheryl Cribbet and Virginia Bruce. Also vacant was the director position of the late Wayne King, who passed away in December.
The rest of the Chamber’s board of directors remained the same, as directors whose terms expired in 2023 were nominated and elected to new terms.
The guest speaker at Thursday’s annual meeting was Eagle Scout Elijah West, a student at Scott High School.
Integrity Tax Service was awarded as the Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year for 2023.
Finally, Wayne King was formally presented as the 2023 Independent Herald/Scott County Chamber of Commerce Person of the Year. Attending the meeting were his wife, Kim, his daughter, Tara, his son, Corey, and his sister, Kathy West.
