Day 77

W. Scott Brawley serves as Chairman of the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind’s (SCSDB) Board of Commissioners which is the governing body for the school. His association with SCSDB runs deep as his wife’s parents graduated from the SC School for the Deaf. His active involvement with the school goes back to the early 1990’s when he joined the SCSDB Foundation Board of Trustees and served as Chairman of the Foundation Board from 2010-2011. In 2014 Scott was appointed by the Governor of South Carolina to serve on the Board of Commissioners and has served as Chairman of the Board since 2020.

Scott grew up in Rock Hill, SC and graduated from Winthrop Training School in 1963 and from the University of South Carolina in 1968 with a degree in Marketing. Scott remained in Columbia after graduating from USC and opened Brawley and Associates Insurance Agency, Inc. After 46 years of service to his clients, Scott and his wife, Linda, moved to Isle of Palms where he currently resides.

During his time of leadership on the Foundation Board and the Board of Commissioners, Scott has seen remarkable changes to the institution and has led the way in a number of major innovations at the school including the restoration of Walker Hall and the building of a residential facility for our Juniors and Seniors where the students learn how to shop for groceries, plan meals, wash their clothes, cook, etc. This residential facility teaches our students the skills they need to live independent lives once they leave SCSDB. He also witnessed the creation of four major playgrounds at the school and countless other progressive initiatives. Scott is a tireless leader and innovative mind for SCSDB and we are honored to have him as part of our legacy.
