Summer Institute 2014

AN ADVOCATE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Murray L. Vincent Outstanding
Prevention Professional Award is the most
distinguished award given by the SC Campaign.
In memory of Dr. Murray Vincent - a pioneer in
the field of sexual health - the award recognizes
an individual who has significantly impacted
the prevention of adolescent pregnancy in South
Carolina.
This year’s award winner, Shedron Williams—Director of Education
and Prevention for ACCESS Network, was recognized during the
2013 Summer Institute. For nearly two decades, Shedron has been
a champion for young people by serving on local, state and national
boards that advocate for healthy living through prevention and
healthcare services. Emory University named him one of the top 30
advocates for teen pregnancy prevention in the nation.
Shedron currently serves as chairman of the Hampton County Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Council; is an executive board member for the
I AM Responsible, Reliable, and Respectful program; and is a member
of the Hampton County Council where he fights for adequate health
care and age-appropriate sexuality education. In 1992, he founded the
Save Our Children Foundation of Hampton County. Today, Shedron
continues to inspire people as a motivational speaker for youth in
Hampton and surrounding counties. He goes above and beyond the
call of duty to enhance the lives of youth and is well-respected by his
colleagues who say he “has a great history of service, leadership and
high-quality program delivery.”
