Serve & Connect is excited to announce that Retired Chief of Myrtle Beach Police, Amy Prock has stepped into the role of Board Chair for the 2026–2027 term.
In addition to welcoming our new board chair, we are also proud to introduce two new board members: Bryant Davis, Chief Diversity Officer for the City of Greenville and Will Williams, CEO & President of Western SC Economic Development Partnership. Their leadership and experience will help further Serve & Connect’s mission of strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
Now retired, Chief Amy Prock joined the Myrtle Beach Police Department in 1996. She has been assigned within the department in several different positions throughout her career, to include the Patrol Division, Special Operations Division, Administrative Division and the Investigative Division. During her 28 years of service, the positions she filled have provided her the opportunity to serve the Myrtle Beach community from the Waterfront to Street Crimes, Narcotics, Patrol, Regulatory and several others.
“I am honored to serve as the Chair of Serve & Connect this year. This organization is a true blessing for law enforcement and for communities across South Carolina and beyond—bringing officers and residents together, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful change in the lives of those we serve. In the year ahead, we look forward to supporting our partners, serving our communities, and expanding our reach so that strong connections continue to drive real, lasting impact. I have one ask as Board Chair: if you want to truly understand the need for strong support between law enforcement and our communities, take the time to learn who we are—our organization, our founder, and the partners already doing this work every day. That understanding is how we grow stronger together and keep our focus where it belongs: on people,” Amy Prock, Police Chief (Retired).
We would like to thank our now Immediate Past Chair, Rick Jiran. He was instrumental in our development and we are so grateful for all of his hard work. Jiran will continue to remain on our board and assist with our growth and sustainability across the Carolinas.
Bryant Davis currently serves as the Chief Diversity Officer for the City of Greenville. Previously, he served as the Assistant Director of Government and Community Services for Richland County. Davis has also served on several community boards, including United Way of Greenville County and Homeless No More. He brings extensive experience in leadership, community engagement, and public service.
Before joining the Western SC Economic Development Partnership as CEO & President, Will Williams worked as a Project Manager at the South Carolina Department of Commerce and as an Area Director for ReadySC, part of the SC Technical College System. Prior to his economic development career, he spent approximately eight years in manufacturing, focusing on industrial engineering and quality assurance. Will serves on several other boards and has received several awards including recognition as one of the Top 50 North American Economic Developers.
In addition to welcoming new board members, we also recognized several outgoing members for their service and dedication to Serve & Connect, including Angela McDuffie, Ron Harvey, and Katie Titus. McDuffie, a founding board member of Serve & Connect, most recently served as Immediate Past Chair. Harvey and Titus completed their board terms and we are grateful for the leadership, support, and impact each of them has had on our organization and mission.
