I look forward to this uplifting challenge as we face future endeavors of new facilities, additional services and continued quality care to our friends, families and neighbors in Randolph and surrounding counties dealing with life-threatening illnesses."

Lebanon United Methodist Church in Randleman. He also serves on community advisory boards for Randolph County Schools and Randolph Community College.

Recently, Caughron served as District #7690 conference chairman for Rotary as 365 business and community leaders from cental North Carolina gathered in Myrtle Beach, S.C., for their year-end convention.

Caughron plans to remain an active Chamber volunteer over the coming months to assist the organization with its plans for the 22nd annual NASCAR Day Festival on Oct. 23. Bucky Jernigan, vice chairman of the Chamber board, will work with Caughron and serve as interim director and festival chairman for this year's event.
