Bank of Holly Springs officer and director named Citizen of the Year

As CEO and president of the Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce Jon Maynard read off the accomplishments of the not-yet-named Citizen of the Year, David Sherwin Haynie started to realize he served on all the same boards as the award recipient.

“I started to think who it could be,” Haynie said. “I was trying to figure out who also served on all of those boards with me and then it hit me. And that’s when I got teary.”

Haynie, known to most as Sherwin, was named the 2018 Citizen of the Year recently during the Annual Meeting Luncheon at the Inn at Ole Miss.

The winner is chosen from a list of nominated candidates and judged by a committee on their positive volunteer contributions, their contributions above and beyond those normally expected in an elective or appointed position, or above and beyond mere success in a business or profession and their perception as a role model for good citizenship and volunteerism in a non-paid capacity for the community.
