National Bank of South Carolina president and CEO Chuck Garnett has been named chairman of the board for Transitions Homeless Center, succeeding BlueCross BlueShield CEO David Pankau.

Garnett has served on the board of the Midlands’ largest homeless center since 2015, helping broaden support and awareness for the 260-bed facility. NBSC is a division of Synovus Bank, which is the presenting sponsor for a Transitions fundraiser, Chefs’ Feast, in May.

“I’m honored to be serving as board chair, and to have the privilege of leading this team of community and business leaders,” Garnett said in a news release. “We all share a deep commitment to making the Midlands a better place to live and work, and we understand that can only happen if we remain committed to helping the least among us find their way home.”

Transitions has helped almost 2,000 clients find permanent housing in the local community since opening in 2011.
