What are your passions?
Helping and promoting student and staff sucess!
You're being too modest. I have learned that in addition to your sucess in the workplace through the years you have contributed service time through mentoring associations such as Concerned Black Men, Inc. (CBM), the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice and the Richalnd County School District One "Row Program" for students with special needs. Your passion for volunteerism has also led you to be involved with American Heart Association, the United Way of the Midlands, the Palmetto Health Foundation, your alma mater of Lower Richland High School Alumni Foundation, and too many more organzations to name!
What our RCAEOP President has to say about Brian:
"Brian has been nothing but helpful ever since I started in this role as President and even before. He's always willing to lend a hand no matter what it is, and he does it with a smile. Having Brian on your team is always a plus. He is very dependable, hard working, caring and giving.. I always like to give people their flowers while they are living...Today I salute you Brian Weston!"
