Sampson Community College (SCC) is proud to announce the reappointment of Chuck Spell to its Board of Trustees. A dedicated advocate for education and community development, Spell brings a wealth of experience and deep connections to the college and the community it serves.

A graduate of Clinton High School, Spell earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Technology Education from NC State University, followed by a Master of Business Administration from Campbell University. 

Professionally, Spell has a distinguished career spanning more than two decades with Schindler Elevator Corporation and currently serves as Director of Manufacturing at HOGSLAT, a position he has held for over eight years.

Spell’s commitment to community service is evident in his extensive involvement. He is a director and past president of the SCC Foundation, Vice Chair of the Sampson County Economic Development Commission and serves on boards including the Sampson County History Museum and the Board of Adjustment. Additionally, he is President of the Ol’ Lightnin Rods Car Club, an elder and choir member at Graves Memorial Presbyterian Church and a past president of the Chamber of Commerce.

This reappointment marks a return to the SCC Board of Trustees, where Spell previously served from 2015 to 2019. Reflecting on his new term, Spell shared in a press release, “It is wonderful to see the progress at the SCC campus regarding changes to the facilities that were being discussed and planned when I was a previous Trustee. I look forward to once again being a Trustee for SCC. We are very fortunate to have an excellent staff and wonderful students that make SCC a true asset to this community.”

Dr. Bill Starling, President of Sampson Community College, also expressed his enthusiasm for Spell’s return, stating in a press release, “On behalf of our staff and faculty, I want to welcome Chuck back to the Board of Trustees following his recent appointment by the North Carolina Senate. Chuck served previously as a trustee and was an important advocate for the development of industrial programs which support local agriculture and manufacturing.”

Sampson Community College welcomes Chuck Spell back to the Board of Trustees and looks forward to his contributions to advancing the college’s mission: ‘Begin Here, Go Anywhere.’
