Ambassador Spotlights Pam Norwood Pam Norwood has more than 25 years experience in the medical field as a medical assistant to Dr. Sam McCaskill and Dr. Rafael Negron. She left the medical field in March of 2014 to be the office manager for Magnolia Management LLC Rental Properties. She is co-owner of the company along with her husband Tony Norwood, Lundy Sykes and Kate Barker. Pam is a native of Indianapolis, Indiana, but considers Henderson her

home. She is married to Tony Norwood, who worked at Harriett & Henderson Yarns for 20 years. After the company’s closing, he started Norwood Home Improvements, which led to the opening of Magnolia Management LLC, which was prompted by rental property owners he had done work for who wanted him to manage their properties. Magnolia Management LLC has grown from managing 12 properties to managing 102 properties in just two years. Pam recently graduated from the Leadership-Vance program and started serving

as an ambassador for the chamber in July. She is a member of the New Sandy Creek Baptist Church and is very active in the American Cancer Society-Vance County Relay for Life. She also serves on the Vance County crime stoppers board. Pam says, “Being a Chamber Ambassador puts you and your business in the spotlight! There are ribbon cuttings and other Chamber event photos that are printed in the Chamber’s newsletter and sometimes the local paper. That gives me and my company free publicity as a supporter of businesses coming to the local community. It also provides me with a great opportunity for networking and a few minutes of fun with other leaders in the community. I have learned that being an Ambassador is the perfect opportunity to make new business connections!”

Tim Hester Tim Hester is a Vance County native who works with Prim Residential Rentals as project manager. In this role, Tim manages the company’s construction projects and works with commercial and residential rental properties. He is also attending Vance-Granville Community College, working towards his masters in business administration. Tim is also working with local politics in various capacities. He wants to make Henderson a better place to live, work and play. While serving as an ambassador, he

has gotten involved by going to many chamber events such as roundtables and other networking events, volunteering at chamber community events and trying to recruit new chamber members. Tim says of serving the chamber in this capacity, “While serving as Chamber Ambassador, the Chamber has enabled me to meet Chamber member business representatives and make many contacts with business leaders and other volunteers.” During his free time, Tim enjoys hunting, playing golf and tennis and going to beautiful Kerr Lake.

Small businesses warned: Threat of point of sale malware The Depar tment of Homeland Security released an advisor y Aug. 22 warning businesses to check for Point of Sale (POS) malware infections. The warning comes from investigations stemming from the cyber attack experienced by Target last year. According to the advisor y, more than 1,000 American businesses have been affected. The agencies involved in uncovering the breadth of the breaches in addition to Homeland Security were the Secret Ser vice and the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) along with their security par tners. According to the

SESSION

Secret Ser vice, criminals are actively scanning corporate systems for remote access oppor tunities — a vendor with remote access to a company’s systems, for example, or employees with the ability to work remotely — and then deploying computers to guess user names and passwor ds at high speeds until they find a working combination. The malware, now being r efer r ed to as “Backof f” after a word that appeared in its code, was undetected by antivir us software until r e c e n t l y.

The Depar tment of Homeland Security Advisor y says, “Over the past year, the Secret Ser vice has responded to network intrusions at numer ous busi nesses throughout the United States that have been impacted by the “Backof f” malware.

mised locations, involving private sector entities of all sizes.” Also in the advisor y, the Secret Ser vice and Homeland Security recommend that companies limit the number of vendors with access to their internal network; require long, complex passwords that cannot easily be cracked by a computer; and lock employees and vendors out of their accounts after multiple login requests. They also recommend that companies segregate cr ucial systems, like their cash registers, from corporate networks and install so-called twofactor authentication, which is a method that requires employees to enter a sec-

ond, one-time password in addition to their usual credentials. It is also suggested that companies encr ypt customers’ data from the moment their cards are swiped in the store, log all network activity and deploy security software that can alert technicians to unusual activity, such as a cash register in a UPS Store in Tennessee communicating with a ser ver in Russia. Companies that believe they have been the victim of this malware should contact their local Secret Ser vice field office and for additional information on this threat should contact the NCCIC at NCCIC@hq.dhs.gov or (888) 282-0870.

Henderson Community Concert Association celebrates 30 years

Henderson Community Concert Association

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Monday, Sept. 22, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Henderson Community Concert Association. For 30 years, the Henderson Community Concert Association has brought high-quality entertainment to Henderson. It takes more than 100 dedicated volunteers and board members to make it all happen. These volunteers solicit businesses, civic organizations, individuals and families to garner support for each season, which consists of a series of five or six music, dance or theater “stars” on the local stage at Vance-Granville Community College. Ticket prices are maintained at a family-friendly minimum due to the generous support of businesses. HCCA prides itself in offering an outreach service to students, providing local school children the chance to see live performances by world-class artists. These programs would not be possible without the support of “special contributors” and “extra special contributors”. This year’s season began with toe-tappin’ fun at “Live from Nashville.” Other performances include “America’s Got Talent” tenor Fernando Varela, “The New Shanghai Circus”, Canadian fiddler “Karrnnel” and “Simply Sinatra”, featuring a live big band. More information and videos can be found on the HCCA website at hcca.cc or you can call Jan McDaniel at (252) 492-2954.
