Whereas, the Government Finance Officers Association of South Carolina consists of over five hundred members representing state, county, and municipal governments, special purpose districts, school districts, and institutions of higher learning; and
Whereas, one of the primary objectives of the association is to promote and encourage professional competence of the individuals who are responsible for public funds, and one way this objective is accomplished is by providing continuing education and training through the Certification Program for Governmental Finance Officers; and
Whereas, to successfully complete the certification program, the individual must be a government finance officer, take at least two of three twenty-five hour core courses, take another fifty hours of electives in related studies, and satisfactorily complete each part of a three-part examination; and
Whereas, the awarding of the designation "Certified Government Finance Officer" requires tremendous knowledge and dedication and after three years of the operation of the certification program, approximately thirty-five individuals have successfully completed it; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and congratulate this outstanding association for its achievements in helping its members become trusted and competent professionals and also would like to publicly recognize and commend the members of the association including those who have successfully completed the demanding certification program of the association. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, hereby recognize and commend the Government Finance Officers Association of South Carolina for its accomplishments in assisting its members to achieve a high degree of professional competence and public trust and declare Wednesday, May 19, 1993, as Certified Government Finance Officers Day in South Carolina.
