After being dismissed as the president of the Greater Darlington Chamber of Commerce, Carla Elvington, is taking on a new venture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Elvington recently received a non-profit charter and established the Pee Dee Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Greater Darlington Chamber of Commerce posted a statement on Facebook on March 29 declaring they had fired Elvington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Elvington also made a statement regarding her dismissal, which the chamber responded to with multiple posts over the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The long post discusses a situation at a recent awards banquet where the chamber said Elvington miscommunicated details regarding an award recipient. It doesn\u2019t state if this was the reason for Elvington\u2019s dismissal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI\u2019m perfectly fine with my dismissal from the Greater Darlington Chamber of Commerce, my mission and values are not the same as theirs,\u201d Elvington said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Elvington has over 25 years of business experience, and she felt there was more to be done for area businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

She believes some businesses have been overlooked, and she hopes the Pee Dee Chamber will give them another option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWe are not designed for only the wealthy or elite, we do not care the color of your skin or political affiliation how much money you have in your bank account, we welcome all members,\u201d Elvington said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

President of Dr. RV Sandra Thompson was excited about the direction of the Darlington Chamber under Elvington\u2019s leadership. She said Elvington was working hard to promote all area businesses, unlike past chamber presidents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWith her not being here anymore, who do we go to,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cWe have nobody that\u2019s going to help us resource our businesses and it\u2019s a shame.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Thompson said she isn\u2019t happy with the way things went down, and she\u2019s likely going to pull her membership from the Darlington Chamber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to have a very energetic person running this chamber, and truthfully I\u2019m going to join it and I\u2019ve offered to be on her board of directors,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Elvington said her chamber isn\u2019t only open to business owners in Darlington County.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\u201cThis is a revolution of unity because there\u2019s strength in numbers, irregardless of their county or precinct they reside in or represent, we welcome everyone,\u201d Elvington said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Greater Darlington Chamber was unable to comment on the situation due to it being a personnel matter, but an email sent to WMBF News states they\u2019ve reached out to all of their members and they\u2019ve received numerous phone calls of support.<\/p>\n
