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.

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.”
