Salisbury attorney Charles (Chip) Dashiell was recently elected chair of the Greater Salisbury Committee as the not-for-profit civic improvement organization entered its 43nd year of operation. Dashiell is a partner in the firm of Hearne and Bailey.
The Greater Salisbury Committee is a regional organization which currently covers six counties including Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, Sussex, Accomack, and Northampton and works to make the area a better place to live and work.
Also elected were First Vice Chair Dr. Catherine Smoot-Haselnus, president of the Chesapeake Eye Center; Second Vice Chair Gregory Olinde, senior vice president and regional manager of Bay National Bank; and Secretary-Treasurer Michael Langley, vice president and general manager of Pepsi Bottling Ventures.
The outgoing Chair is James R. Thomas, Jr., president of George, Miles and Buhr in Salisbury.
Also elected were three new members of the Executive Committee, including Steven Robinson, president of ISG Insurance in Cambridge; Mat Tilghman of Hanna Kremer Tilghman in Salisbury, and Michelle Wright, vice president of Cornerstone Farms in Mardela Springs.
During the past year, GSC has been heavily involved in region-wide projects such as the continued growth of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) which has been called the fastest-growing economic generator on the Delmarva Peninsula as part of GSC’s long-term goal of stopping the Peninsula’s “brain drain.”
A new annual work program was adopted by the membership and that, along with more community information is posted on its Citizens Working Together website at http://www.citizensworkingtogether.org

This is a dangerous group that promotes things like that "North Prong" nonsense, and won't disclose its full membership.
They backed Barrie Tilghman all those years, too.
Who's in the pic? Looks like wife of Greater Salisbury Exec Director
"Also elected were three new members of the Executive Committee,.... Mat Tilghman of Hanna Kremer Tilghman in Salisbury..."
As in wife of Barrie Tilghman?
4:17 PM it does look like Jan's wife. I was wondering why her pic was posted?
This is a group of people who think they are the elite of Wicomico. Maybe they are, how many other citizens pay $2500 to belong to a local organization?
Michelle Wright from school board on the Executive Committee? Maybe the elite can help her find the pork in the BOE budget.
5:34 PM, now that is funny.
Michelle is a great person and I am sure she knows where the pork is, but she is a minority at the WCBOE.
L.
Michelle has become "one of them"...
A "Go-along-to-get-along." Sad, because she could of made a difference at the BOE. I am a teacher and I have seen how she has changed since she was appointed to the Board. She has become power hungry and thinks she is important.
I,for one, can't believe she paid $2500 to join this "boys club."
Guess one will do most anything to
look important.
Greg needs to be more concerned with his little town of Fruitland. Greg, if you paid $2.500 to belong to this group it sounds like the economy isn't hitting you as bad as you want your tax payers to believe.
Thanks for nothing!
Michelle Wright? Is this Charlie Wrights wife? Wrights Market in Mardela? WOW, is she ever out of place.
Dear Mr. Dashiell:
Do you know the position of the "GSC" on Pollitt and McCain's plan to kill Wicomico's tax cap?
Ok, please tell us what it is.
Mr. or Ms. 4:31 --
Yes indeed, that's Barrie's hubby.
Now you know why they backed her for over 10 years, and she pushed their North Prong nonsense.
Thats Mat the Rat!
