Meet Our CEO
Mr. Wayne Gates Chapman
The Board of Directors of Billie Hardee unanimously voted to
appoint Mr. Wayne Gates Chapman as Chief Executive Officer in
October 1999. Chapman, who has been with the organization since
1991, was promoted from Director of Operations and Fund
Development.
Wayne completed his high school education at Hartsville High
School and his undergraduate studies from Francis Marion University
with a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in
Management. Chapman began his career as a volunteer weekend
houseparent and has worked in nearly every capacity of the
organization. When I first began volunteering here at the Billie
Hardee, I really did not have any idea that children could be such
victims of so much horrific abuse and neglect. That is where I
derive my passion from though, I believe that no child should have
to live in the grip of fear as a result of someone not loving
them.
Chapman has been instrumental in a number of innovative
initiatives at Billie Hardee. They include several grant awards
from The Duke Endowment, the Pee Dee Electric Trust, and the design
and implementation of Family Centered Practice, Therapeutic Crisis
Intervention and the on-campus school. Under his leadership, the
organization has expanded to serve additional children in its
residential and day treatment programs.
Chapman is active in the South Carolina Association of Children's
Homes and Family Services where he served as President of the
statewide organization for an unprecedented 2 terms. Chapman is
also a member of the Darlington Kiwanis Club.
Over the years under direction of Chapman's leadership the
Billie Hardee Home for Boys has broadened its vision and services.
Now what we know as Billie Hardee is much more than just a home for
teenage boys in need, but also a ministry that reaches out and
meets the needs children and families all over the state of South
Carolina.
Wayne is married to Nicole Hardee Chapman, together they have two
children, Hannah Nicole and Wayne Gates Chapman, II. The Chapman
family is active at Central Baptist Church in Darlington.
