A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR MENDY CORDER, MUNICIPAL CLERK FOR THE CITY OF CAYCE, UPON THE OCCASION OF 
HER RETIREMENT AFTER NEARLY THREE DECADES OF EXEMPLARY SERVICE, AND TO WISH HER 
CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate have learned that Mendy Corder will begin a well-deserved 
retirement after twenty-nine years with the City of Cayce, the last of which 
have been as the city's distinguished and highly regarded municipal clerk; and

Whereas, at the age of 
twenty-four, Ms. Corder began her storied career with the City of Cayce as the city's 
receptionist in 1996, where her welcoming presence and organizational skills 
quickly made her a valuable part of the team; and

Whereas, she served in 
the records department at the Cayce Police Department, supporting critical 
operations with professionalism, accuracy, and discretion, before she returned to 
city hall, where her leadership and institutional knowledge continued to grow. Ms. 
Corder served as administrative coordinator for the City Manager's Office; and 

Whereas, as the 
administrative coordinator, Ms. Corder played a key role in the day-to-day 
operations of city government and took on the responsibilities of municipal clerk, 
a role essential to ensure transparency, compliance, and the smooth functioning 
of city council and municipal processes; and

Whereas, she oversaw 
events, bringing the vision to life from the Mayors Institute for City Design for 
the award-winning Soiree on State. She managed public buildings, contributing 
behind the scenes to many of the programs, initiatives, meetings, and community 
events that residents and staff have come to enjoy and rely on with keen 
attention to detail, steady guidance, and commitment to service; and

Whereas, for more than 
Soiree on State, Ms. Corder gave leadership and organizational skills to such 
events as the Bluegrass Festival, Fall Fest, and appreciation dinners, and she assisted 
with the development of the Cayce Art Lot and the creation of the Cayce Cool 
Down, using her leadership and assistance to ensure each initiative's success, 
all the while faithfully carrying out her municipal clerk responsibilities and 
maintaining public buildings on campus; and

Whereas, grateful for 
her many years of distinguished service to City of Cayce, the South Carolina Senate 
takes great pleasure in extending best wishes to Mendy Corder 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 Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
recognize and honor Mendy Corder, municipal clerk for the City of Cayce, upon 
the occasion of her retirement after nearly three decades 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 Mendy Corder.

----XX----
