The South Carolina Housing Hall of Fame trustees have announced that Representative William
E. “Bill” Sandifer and John Templeton will be inducted into the prestigious honor society for their
work in and support of South Carolina’s home building industry. Both men will be presented with
the trademark medallion and plaque during a ceremony on July 14 at the Myrtle Beach Marriott
Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes.
“We couldn’t have asked for two better nominees than Representative Bill Sandifer and Mr. Bill
Templeton because of their unwavering efforts to protect home builders and the American dream
of homeownership,” said Kenneth E. Ormand, Jr., chairman of the S.C. Housing Hall of Fame
Trustees. “The South Carolina home building industry has been fortunate to have these two
champions working for the benefit of our citizens.”
Representative Bill Sandifer is one strong champion of housing who has had a remarkable affect
on the housing industry. He recognizes the impact which the housing industry has on the
economy and has worked tirelessly to protect it. Rep. Sandifer’s efforts have been instrumental in
keeping home prices affordable so that all South Carolinians will have a chance to realize the
American Dream of home ownership!
John Templeton has had a long career in developing quality housing opportunities, which has
added to the quality of life for a large number of S.C. families. His professional career led to his
passion to advocate for property rights and affordable housing and his founding of the S.C.
Landowners Association.. Mr. Templeton has been a leader in the effort to preserve and to even
restore the right of South Carolinians and people around the country to control their own property.
His efforts have been instrumental in shaping and making successful what is likely the most
significant property rights movement in the nation.
“Without the concern and actions of these two personalities, our industry would not have been
able to weather the recent economic storm and would not have been able to maintain the level of
strength which it has today,” said Ormand. “I congratulate the accomplishments of Mr. Templeton
and Rep. Sandifer and I welcome them into the S.C. Housing Hall of Fame.”
Rep. Sandifer and Templeton will accept their nominations into the S.C. Housing Hall of Fame on
Thursday, July 14 at the Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes. The ceremony will
kick-off the annual HBASC State Convention. Tickets for this event and for the convention are on
sale now at the Home Builders Association of South Carolina. For more information, call 803-771-
