A longtime devotee of our organization for over two decades, Peggy now serves as vice-president of the Board of Directors.  She is a faithful member of Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church.  Even in retirement, Peggy has a full schedule of outreach activities, of which Sampson Partners’  mission of basic humanitarian support is a large part.  She and her husband, John, recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. 

Another stalwart of Sampson Partners, having served as past chair, and contributing on many levels over the years, Willie is a fixture at Andrews Chapel.  He is known throughout the county for his service, with his participation in veterans’ affairs being perhaps his most visible activity.  He is also a ham radio enthusiast, an activity that he enjoys from the comfort of his den.

Johnny’s roots with Sampson Partners run deep.  All the way back to 1986, his father, the late J.C. Pridgen, Sr., joined his missionary energies with those of other local ministers to form Clinton United Churches Crisis Center, our first corporate name.  For his part, Johnny has focused his own vision and work within our organization for over twenty-five years.  His current post is Chief of Operations and Treasurer, but that understates his role.  Simply, Sampson Partners would not exist were it not for his unwavering dedication.  He and his wife Sandi are members of First Baptist Church in Clinton.
