The South Carolina House of Representatives has adopted a resolution to congratulate A. Foster McKissick III for his nomination for the prestigious 2025 TIME Dealer of the Year Award by TIME magazine. This award is recognized as one of the automobile industry's highest honors, celebrating successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a commitment to community service. Mr. McKissick, the CEO of Fairway Automotive Group in Greenville, was selected to represent the South Carolina Automobile Dealers Association in this national competition, standing out among only forty-nine nominees from over twenty thousand dealers across the country.

Mr. McKissick, a graduate of The Citadel, has a long-standing history in the automotive industry, following in the footsteps of his father, who founded their dealership in 1966. He has been actively involved in various community service initiatives, supporting numerous nonprofits and charities in Greenville, and has held leadership roles in organizations that assist local veterans and promote education. The resolution expresses gratitude for Mr. McKissick's dedicated service to the community and the state, and it concludes with a commitment to present him with a copy of the resolution.
