 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO EXPRESS SINCERE GRATITUDE AND FRIENDSHIP TO
 JENNIFER PARRISH ROBINSON OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MOST RECENTLY
 SERVING AS CHIEF COUNSEL TO THE HOUSE LABOR, COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY COMMITTEE,
 AND TO WISH HER MUCH DESERVED SUCCESS IN HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

   10/21/08  House  Introduced, adopted, sent to Senate HJ-1

TO EXPRESS SINCERE GRATITUDE AND FRIENDSHIP TO JENNIFER PARRISH ROBINSON OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MOST RECENTLY SERVING AS CHIEF COUNSEL TO THE HOUSE LABOR, COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY COMMITTEE, AND TO WISH HER MUCH DESERVED SUCCESS IN HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly note that Jennifer Parrish Robinson has served on the staff of the House of Representatives from December 2004, until the present; and

Whereas, Jennifer came to her career in the House of Representatives after having been awarded a degree in Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of South Carolina in 1998 and a Juris Doctor Degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2003; and

Whereas, she served as a page and legislative aide in the House of Representatives 1996-1998 and held positions of legal assistant in the McNair Law Firm and project assistant at Nelson, Mullins, Riley, and Scarborough, as communications coordinator in the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and law clerk and counsel to the Office of Senate Research 2001-2004; and

Whereas, Jennifer joined the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee in December 2004 as staff counsel and became chief counsel in September 2007. In addition, she served the House of Representatives as House Counsel to the State Regulation of Public Utilities Review Committee and the Judicial Merit Selection Commission; and

Whereas, she has served under the leadership of Committee Chairman Harry F. Cato and she has the distinction of the longest serving staff attorney during his fourteen years tenure as chairman; and

Whereas, she devoted many hours of time to major business legislative initiatives including telecommunications, energy, insurance, banking, at-will employment, consumer affairs, real estate issues, and Public Service Commission reform; and

Whereas, Jennifer's duties included wide-ranging matters such as analyzing, researching, and writing about business-related issues which have come before the General Assembly during these past few years, including staffing the screening of Employment Security Commission, Judicial and Public Service Commission candidates, and as co-counsel on a law suit concerning the one subject lawsuit in the Sloan v. Wilkins case; and

Whereas, we will sorely miss her dedication, skills, and resourcefulness; and

Whereas, it is appropriate for the members of the General Assembly to pause in their deliberations to express their high regard for her service to this body as she assumes a position in the private sector. Now, therefore,

Be it resolve by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, express their sincere gratitude and friendship to Jennifer Parrish Robinson for her service to the House of Representatives, most recently serving as chief counsel to the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, and wish her much deserved success in her new position in the private sector.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Jennifer Parrish Robinson.
