Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to note that William "Bill" Pritchard, former Chief Executive Officer of Burroughs & Chapin Company, has been named recipient of the 2010 Leadership Grand Strand Ann DeBock Leadership Award; and

Whereas, thirty-one years ago after attending Leadership South Carolina, Bill Pritchard decided his own area needed an organization that would foster locally the benefits he had observed as resulting from the work of Leadership South Carolina; and

Whereas, as a result, he founded the Leadership Grand Strand program in an effort to develop a group of informed, qualified, and committed individuals capable of providing dynamic leadership to the Grand Strand area; and

Whereas, a retired Burroughs & Chapin executive, Bill Pritchard worked for the company for more than thirty years, serving there in several roles, including senior vice president, interim president, and Chief Executive Officer; and

Whereas, dedicated to community service, he has been involved in volunteer work throughout his life. Some of his most notable roles have been as past president of United Way of Horry County, co-founder and president of Grand Strand Soccer League, first chairman of the Community Appearance Board of Myrtle Beach, and 1983-84 board chairman of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate take great pleasure in congratulating Bill Pritchard on this, his latest achievement, his being named recipient of the 2010 Leadership Grand Strand Ann DeBock Leadership Award. It is an honor befitting the distinguished service he has already rendered to the people of his fair community and this great State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:
