He later held senior management positions at Southern Bank & Trust and First Union National Bank before joining the South Carolina Bankers Association as President/CEO. He retired from the SC Bankers Association in 2012 where he was credited with many successes in state and federal legislation, economic development, financial-literacy efforts, and sound financial association management.

Hendricks has held numerous other leadership positions over the years, including Congaree Land Trust, S.C. Transportation Policy and Research Council, March of Dimes, Easter Seal Society, Boy Scouts, USC Education Foundation, as well as member of the Board of Visitors of both Clemson University and the Medical University of SC.
“I was delighted to be asked to join the BDC Executive Committee. Being able to contribute in any way I can to the advancement and economic development of South Carolina has been a passion and a privilege for me, and helping BDC help entrepreneurs across the state finance their goals and dreams is a great way to continue doing just that,” Hendricks said.
“We’re pleased and privileged to welcome Lloyd Hendricks to our Executive Committee,” said BDC CEO and Board Chairman Edwin O. Lesley. “His broad, deep combination of civic, business, legal and legislative engagement gives him a perspective that will truly be an asset for us now and in the years to come.”
