CONGRATULATING BETTY A. HENDERSON OF ORANGEBURG COUNTY UPON HER RETIREMENT AS ORANGEBURG COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR AND WISHING HER GOOD HEALTH AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN HER RETIREMENT.
Whereas, Betty A. Henderson retired December 31, 1993 as the Orangeburg County Tax Assessor; and
Whereas, Mrs. Henderson was the first black female tax assessor in South Carolina and served the citizens of Orangeburg County well in the office of tax assessor for many years; and
Whereas, she was instrumental in the formation of the ortho program from its beginnings to the present G.I.S. program and through her initiative and innovation on this project she has saved Orangeburg County hundreds of thousands of dollars; and
Whereas, in her capacity as tax assessor Mrs. Henderson was instrumental in Orangeburg County becoming one of the first counties with all its appraisal staff licensed, thereby complying with the state and federal requirements for appraisers with total appraisal staff licensing; and
Whereas, she published a widely distributed, very helpful information packet entitled "What You Need to Know about Your Taxes"; and
Whereas, Mrs. Henderson was the recipient of the County Administrator's Award of Excellence in 1989 and 1990; and
Whereas, she served as vice president of the South Carolina Association of Assessing Officials from 1990 to the present and she is currently a member of the board of directors of the association; and
Whereas, as county tax assessor she demonstrated her strong sense of fiscal responsibility and government efficiency when she oversaw the production of the county's current set of parcel boundary overlays from current aerial photographs at a two hundred thousand dollar saving to the county; and
Whereas, she was a dedicated public employee and she is well respected in her field and after a long and illustrious career serving the citizens of Orangeburg County and the State of South Carolina, she will be sorely missed in the Tax Assessor's Office. 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, congratulate Mrs. Betty A. Henderson of Orangeburg upon her retirement as the Orangeburg County Tax Assessor and wishing her good health and happiness in her retirement.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Henderson.
