Milliken executive nominated to S.C. Ports Authority Board

Associated Press

CHARLESTON -- Gov. Mark Sanford has appointed an Upstate textile executive to the State Ports Authority Board.
The appointment of J. Richard Dillard, director of public affairs for Spartanburg-based Milliken and Co., still requires Senate confirmation.
Until then, Dillard will serve on an interim basis beginning at the SPA's next monthly meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
Dillard, 51, would replace James Micali, president of Michelin North America in Greenville. An Edgefield native and Clemson University graduate, Dillard said he brings a pro-manufacturing tilt to the board, given his 27 years with Milliken.
Dillard's nomination follows the May appointments of Carroll A. Campbell III, son of former Gov. Carroll Campbell, of Columbia and Harry J. Butler Jr. of Georgetown.
