Whereas, hundreds of nonprofit national, regional, state, and local trade associations, professional societies, and community service organizations operate in the public interest in South Carolina; and

Whereas, these organizations exist for the mutual benefit of their members and constituents through education, public information, influencing public policy, and pursuit of other common goals; and

Whereas, these associations encourage high standards of conduct and codes of ethics in the public interest and promote voluntary action as an effective means of meeting common challenges; and

Whereas, these associations provide important private sector support to the South Carolina General Assembly in the development of public policy; and

Whereas, over six hundred thousand people hold individual memberships in South Carolina associations with the direct economic impact of these associations in excess of seventy-five million dollars annually; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Society of Association Executives is celebrating its thirty-sixth anniversary in 2000. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize the week of May 1-5, 2000, as "Association Week", as proclaimed by Governor James H. Hodges, honoring the nonprofit national, regional, state, and local trade associations, professional societies, and community service organizations in South Carolina.
