The Anderson County Chamber of Commerce announced the two winners of the R.C. “Dudley” Hoskins Volunteer Awards at their 3rd Annual “Tribute to Business” Dinner on June 6.

Natalie Erb, one of the two recipients, is co-owner of Allstate-The Erb Agency in Clinton. Natalie serves on the Chamber board, Youth Leadership Anderson County board, and Events Council, and she is currently enrolled in the Leadership Anderson County Class of 2015. A positive voice for the Chamber in the community, she has provided numerous hours of in-kind support to the Chamber.

Interested in the Chamber’s future, Natalie’s professional approach to business has been a driver to bring the Chamber to a higher level. Despite her busy schedule with business and family, she makes time to give back to the community.

Steve Sumner, the second recipient, is chief executive officer of Thermocopy of Tennessee and a longtime Chamber member. Steve serves on the Chamber board and Chamber Operations Council, offering support through financial and in-kind contributions.

As a businessman, Steve is eager to share innovative ideas and experiences to promote fellow Chamber businesses. His interest in the Chamber’s future and visibility, his “how can I help?” attitude, his treatment of fellow employees, and his optimistic approach to life represent a true community volunteer. Steve shows his appreciation for his customers by giving back to the community.

The R.C. “Dudley” Hoskins Awards are given annually to an outstanding male and female for their contribution to the community through the Chamber and other organizations. This award is named for Mr. Hoskins, founder of Hoskins Drug Stores, and the Clinton Businessman’s association that became the Clinton Chamber in 1932, and renamed the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce in 1984.

Daughters Dudley Bostic and Molly Scarbrough and their families still manage the drug store and a medical supply business on Market Street.

The Anderson County Chamber of Commerce—”working for business since 1932″—is located at 245 N. Main Street, Ste. 200, in Clinton. For more information, contact the Chamber at (865) 457-2559 or visit www.andersoncountychamber.org.
