Board of Directors
Board service is a form of volunteerism that can have a huge impact on an organization. Nonprofit organizations fill the gaps that government agencies can’t provide, so they provide valuable services to the community. Your service on a nonprofit board will benefit your community in many ways. You have much to gain as well, making nonprofit board service a win-win proposition.
Board membership is an uncompensated volunteer position.

Scott Weldon, Exec. Director
Our executive director, Scott Weldon, was a teenager in June of 1971 when Richard Nixon officially declared a “War on Drugs,” stating that drug abuse was “public enemy number one.”
Workplace drug testing started taking off after President Ronald Reagan required it for federal employees in 1986. In the late 1980’s, after working at the same labor job for 11 years, Scott found himself looking for new employment, and facing the discrimination of pre-employment drug testing. He eventually started his own photography business to earn an income, and to avoid the intrusions of peeing in a cup.
Scott moved from Pennsylvania to South Carolina in June of 2016, and founded Lowcountry NORML in January of 2017. At the request of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the chapter became the South Carolina state affiliate chapter in 2021, changing it’s name to South Carolina NORML.
