A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR Mendy Corder, municipal clerk 
for the City of Cayce, as she RETIREs AFTER twenty-nine years OF outstanding 
SERVICE, AND TO WISH HER much HAPPINESS IN HER well-deserved retirement.

Whereas, it is 
altogether fitting that the members of the South Carolina House of 
Representatives should pause in their deliberations to commend Mendy Corder as 
she begins a merited retirement after almost three decades with the City of 
Cayce; and

Whereas, in 1996, Ms. 
Corder began her distinguished career with the City of Cayce as the city's 
receptionist at the age of twenty-four, where her friendly presence and administrative 
skills made her an indispensable part of the team; and

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

Whereas, in the role as 
administrative coordinator, Ms. Corder played a key role in the daily functions 
of city government and assumed responsibilities of municipal clerk, a position indispensable 
in maintaining transparency, compliance, and the effortless functioning of city 
council and municipal processes; and

Whereas, she brought to 
life the vision from the Mayors Institute for City Design for the award-winning 
Soiree on State and superintended other events. She managed public buildings, 
contributing behind the scenes to many of the programs, initiatives, meetings, 
and community events that residents and staff have enjoyed and come to depend 
on with sharp attention to detail, reliable guidance, and devotion to service; 
and

Whereas, Ms. Corder provided 
leadership and organizational skills to far more than Soiree on State: the 
Bluegrass Festival, Fall Fest, and appreciation dinners. She helped to develop 
the Cayce Art Lot and to create the Cayce Cool Down, offering leadership and assistance 
to ensure that each program would be successful. With these added activities, 
she faithfully maintained her responsibilities as municipal clerk and continued 
to care for the public buildings on campus; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate citizens who serve the 
cities of our State with distinction, like Mendy Corder, with years of 
distinguished service to City of Cayce, and they 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 Mendy Corder, municipal clerk for the 
City of Cayce, as she retires after twenty-nine years of outstanding service 
and wish her much happiness in her well-deserved retirement.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mendy Corder.
