Peter Stilwell and his wife, Norma, have formed a new company, Tarheel Communications Solutions, LLC, that will focus on business development, special events, marketing and public relations.

Stilwell, who recently left the position as director of Business Development and Special Events at Pinehurst Resorts, is maintaining a relationship in that area as the agency of record for the resorts.

The Stilwells will also be the agency of record for the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation, with responsibilities for development and public relations.

Peter Stilwell has many years of experience in the golf/hospitality industry, serving as executive director of the PGA World Golf Hall of Fame in Pinehurst and as tournament director with the PGA of America for the Grand Slam of Golf and the Senior PGA Championship.

During a 20-year career at Pinehurst, Stilwell developed sales and marketing understanding as well as the financially successful relationship between the resort and the U.S. Kids Golf World Championships, Acura, Pepsi and others.

Norma Stilwell’s previous experience includes advertising, communications, special events and promotions for Keep N.C. Beautiful and freelance writing.

“We’ve been talking about starting our own company for a long time,” Peter Stilwell said. “Norma and I are pleased to reach out to our considerable industry contacts to make this business useful.”

The office will be located in the Harvard Building in the village of Pinehurst. The Stilwells can be reached at (910) 215-0861.
