A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR LYNN WEST, SENIOR EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT FOR AIKEN ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, 
UPON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT AFTER FORTY-THREE YEARS OF EXEMPLARY 
SERVICE, AND TO WISH HER CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HER FUTURE 
ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives have learned that Lynn West will 
begin a well-deserved retirement this summer after forty-three years with Aiken 
Electric Cooperative, the last ten of which have been as the distinguished and 
highly regarded senior executive assistant; and

Whereas, she joined 
Aiken Electric Cooperative (AEC) in 1983 as a system planning clerk, when IBM 
Selectric typewriters, Rolodexes, mimeograph machines, and landlines were 
essential office tools. Over the years, she not only adapted to change, but she 
also embraced it, growing alongside the co-op; and

Whereas, in 1987, she 
became the secretary of administrative services and served the executive vice 
president and general manager as acting administrative assistant. Two years 
later, she was named benefits secretary, followed by administrative assistant 
of the Marketing Department in 1990, and administrative assistant to the 
executive vice president and general manager in 1991. She was named executive 
assistant to the CEO in 1995, and has served as senior executive assistant 
since 2016; and 

Whereas, as executive 
assistant, Ms. West has provided direct administrative support to the CEO and has 
served as a key liaison between the CEO, Board of Trustees, senior management, 
and internal and external stakeholders of Aiken Electric Cooperative and its 
subsidiaries; and

Whereas, she exemplified 
a profound sense of service to others while working at the co-op, developing concern 
for community as a key cooperative principle, and she witnessed and 
participated in countless efforts where AEC employees give back, volunteer, and 
support the communities they serve; and

Whereas, Ms. West's 
commitment to service, learning, and adapting inspired her two sons, Cody and 
Trevor, to pursue careers within the cooperative system themselves. Cody is 
office manager at Edisto Electric Cooperative, and Trevor serves as an energy 
services specialist at Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative. Over the years, her 
family has provided her with their love, encouragement, and support; and

Whereas, grateful for 
her many years of distinguished service to Aiken Electric Cooperative, the 
South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending best 
wishes to Lynn West as she transitions to a richly deserved retirement and the 
unhurried 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 Lynn West, senior executive assistant for 
Aiken Electric Cooperative, upon the occasion of her retirement after forty-three 
years of exemplary service, and wish her continued success and happiness in all 
her future endeavors.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Lynn West.
