A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE THE SOUTH CAROLINA SOCIETY OF ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVES ON ASSOCIATION WEEK TO BE CELEBRATED MAY 6-10, 1996.

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

Whereas, such organizations exist for the mutual benefit of their members and constituents through education, public information, influence on public policy, group benefits, and pursuit of other common goals; and

Whereas, these South Carolina 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, hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians hold individual membership in South Carolina associations with a direct economic impact on the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, the General Assembly salutes all associations and acknowledges the many contributions made to communities by these organizations and their members. 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 hereby declare May 6-10, 1996, as Association Week for the South Carolina Society of Association Executives.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Society of Association Executives.
