David Caughron,
Executive Director |
 The Randleman
Chamber of Commerce received its charter in 1948, however, was
inactive until a reorganization in 1990. David Caughron was
brought on board to serve as Executive Director in January of
1992.
The Chamber
office is located in one of the oldest buildings in Randleman,
which originally housed the city’s first telephone company.
The current entrance to the building was the total size of the
original structure, and examples of the original telephone equipment
are on display in the Chamber offices. The Chamber added offices
and a large conference room behind the original structure, creating
an ideal environment for Chamber activities, such as Business
After Hours, Board of Director Meetings, as well as various
community meetings. According to Executive Director, David Caughron,
“We have visitors to our office that are not actually in
search of specific information, |
continued from left . . .
but have dropped by to tour
the building and look at memorabilia we have on display. With
Randleman’s rich heritage, we have a wide range of memorabilia
- from NASCAR racing to antique telephones.”
Located in
the rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont, Randleman
is conveniently located 15 minutes south of Greensboro. Randleman
is part of Randolph County, and is a 10 minute drive to the
county seat, Asheboro. The Randleman “community” is
officially described as serving Randleman, Level Cross, and
Sophia, however, businesses and individuals from outside this
area have found it important to join the Randleman Chamber of
Commerce.
Newcomers
to Randleman are impressed with the natural beauty of the North
Carolina Piedmont area. Lush green foliage provides a natural
backdrop to both businesses and residences. Residents are proud
of the beautiful countryside they call home, as well as the
traditions and heritage that have made the people here so very
special.
