COLUMBIA, SC – Tim Nelson, Midlands Technical College’s Associate Vice President for Advancement and CEO of the Midlands Technical College Foundation, has been elected to the board of the Council for Resource Development. This national organization supports and equips advancement professionals to succeed in fundraising and develop philanthropic resources.
“I am honored that I have been elected to represent Midlands Technical College before this important industry group,” said Nelson. “This nomination is a direct reflection of the college’s Advancement team and all the achievements we’ve had to date.”
