About Our First Vice Chair: Bria Major

Bria Major was born and raised in Mount Pleasant/Charleston but has established roots in the Goose Creek area. She is a mother, soon to be bride, mentor, and Human Resources Management professional.

“Serving others has always been my passion which has prompted me to volunteer and serve in leadership roles with multiple organization locally and across the state.”

“If servings others is below you, leadership is beyond you.” This quote was told to me by a mentor, and it has stuck. Leadership is not defined by the tangible things in life. Leadership is defined by the way we serve others during all stages in life.
