DRAYTON HALL'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RECEIVES AWARD
George McDaniel, executive director of Drayton Hall, was awarded the Heritage Corridor Meritorious Service Award at the 2010 International Heritage Development Conference (IHDC).
The annual award is presented to partners of the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor (SCNHC) who have performed extensive and invaluable service to the heritage corridor organization, especially on the county, regional and corridor level, with the goal of advancing the organization as a leader in heritage tourism development.
Michelle McCollum, executive director for the SCNHC, presented the award to Mr. McDaniel at the closing luncheon of the IHDC at Charleston Place Hotel on July 1, 2010, and said:
“As a leader in the preservation and tourism industries, we are proud to recognize George McDaniel as not only a long-time advocate for the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor, but also a kindred spirit in the heritage development movement as a whole. His leadership, partnership and guidance has been a cornerstone of strength and growth for our program.”
