A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE HELEN MUNNERLYN 
UPON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF LEADERSHIP SOUTH 
CAROLINA, TO COMMEND HER FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES OF DEDICATED SERVICE, AND TO 
WISH HER MUCH CONTINUED SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN THE YEARS to come.

Whereas, since 2004, Leadership South Carolina (LSC) has enjoyed the 
benefit of the dedication, experience, and leadership of its executive 
director, Helen Munnerlyn, who soon will retire after more than twenty years of 
distinguished service; and

Whereas, during Helen's time as executive director of Leadership 
South Carolina, the state's oldest and most respected leadership development 
organization, LSC has grown to new prominence. More than 80% of LSC alumni have 
served on at least one board or commission. Twenty-four graduates now serve in 
the General Assembly, forty-five serve on city, town, or county councils, and 
many others serve on public school boards or the boards of nonprofits, private 
schools, and faith-based organizations. Further, more than $600,000 has been 
donated to underserved communities by LSC Class Projects; and

Whereas, in carrying out her duties, Helen has accumulated more than 
thirty years of experience in leadership and public affairs. She worked for the 
South Carolina Department of Commerce for more than a decade managing 
communications for economic development, the South Carolina Film Office, South 
Carolina Public Railways, Community and Rural Development, the South Carolina 
Coordinating Council, and the department's Aeronautics Division. She was the 
department's primary spokeswoman during the administrations of former Governors 
Carroll Campbell, David Beasley, and Jim Hodges. Additionally, Helen planned 
numerous national and international development announcements for companies 
such as BMW, Siemens, Fuji Photo Film, Michelin, and Bridgestone-Firestone, and 
she handled media coverage of the historic visit of the emperor of Japan to 
South Carolina in 1994 and the opening of South Carolina trade offices in 
Munich and Hong Kong; and

Whereas, Helen moreover was a key member of Governor Mark Sanford's 
Management Accountability and Performance Commission (MAP) to reduce waste in 
state government. She created and operated the profit-making branch of the 
South Carolina Press Association, and she began her career working for the 
Associated Press in the international news agency's Columbia bureau; and

Whereas, in preparation for her career, Helen earned a bachelor's 
degree in journalism from the University of South Carolina. In addition, she 
herself is a graduate of Leadership South Carolina, as well as of the South 
Carolina Economic Developers' School, Positive Management Leadership program, 
the Governor's EXCEL Leadership Institute, Leadership Columbia, and the Riley 
Institute Diversity Leaders Initiative-Midlands I; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House, grateful for the legacy of 
consistent commitment and excellence Helen Munnerlyn has bestowed on the people 
of this great State, takes great pleasure in wishing her well as she enters 
retirement and trusts she will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace 
of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, congratulate Helen Munnerlyn upon the occasion of her retirement as 
executive director of Leadership South Carolina, commend her for more than two 
decades of dedicated service, and wish her much continued success and 
fulfillment in the years to come.

Be it further resolved that a copy 
of this resolution be presented to Helen Munnerlyn.
