Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives 
have learned that Jodi Dials Gallman began a well-deserved retirement after four 
decades with the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon 
Services (SCDPPPS), the last of which had been as a distinguished and highly 
regarded acting director of the department; and

Whereas, Ms. Gallman earned a bachelor's degree in exercise 
management from Winthrop University in 1975 and a degree as a certified public 
manager in 2021; and

Whereas, she began her employment with SCDPPPS in 1994 as a 
Probation/Parole Supervisor I, and beginning in 1997, she served two years as a 
coordinator of general supervision; and

Whereas, from 1999 to 2005, Ms. Gallman served as the agent-in-charge 
of the Richland County office of SCDPPPS. In 2005, she began serving as the 
director for community affairs for SCDPPPS, a position she held until 2011 when 
she was promoted to serve as the director of executive programs and policy 
management; and

Whereas, in 2017, she became the chief deputy of SCDPPPS, serving as 
a senior advisor to the director and having ancillary oversight for the 
department's daily operations. She was responsible for strategic planning, 
cultivating community partnerships, and ensuring that the agency resources were 
most effectively and efficiently used; and

Whereas, in October of 2023, Ms. Gallman became the acting director

collaborated with other South Carolina law enforcement departments as needed and 
monitored the department's budget and expenditures; and

Whereas, her many achievements at SCDPPPS include serving on the 
committee to develop the mission statement and motto for SCDPPPS and on the 
committee to design the first agency exhibit at the South Carolina Criminal 
Justice Academy. She also served on the seventy-fifth anniversary committee; 
and

Whereas, Ms. Gallman's outstanding service has been honored with 
inclusion in Who's Who Young Women of America and Outstanding Young Women of 
America, the Delta Sigma Theta Service Award, Youthful Offender Agent of the 
Year, and Jack and Jill Mother of the Year. She is also a graduate of the 
Governor's Excel Leadership Institute; and

Whereas, grateful for her many years of distinguished service to SCDPPPS, 
the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending 
best wishes to Jodi Gallman as she transitions to a richly deserved retirement 
and the leisurely pace of the days ahead, and the members wish her many years 
of enjoyment in her well-earned retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, recognize and honor Jodi Dials Gallman, the former acting director of
