A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND THE HONORABLE JUNE STROTHER SHISSIAS OF RICHLAND COUNTY FOR HER OUTSTANDING LEGISLATIVE SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the Honorable June Strother Shissias of Richland County, our good friend and esteemed colleague, has represented the citizens of House District Number 78 since 1992 and is not seeking re-election to the House of Representatives; and

Whereas, Representative Shissias has served with distinction on the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee and is currently serving on the Judiciary Committee; she also was a subcommittee chairman on the South Carolina Welfare Reform Task Force, and she served on the Joint Health Care Planning and Oversight Committee and the Compliance Review Committee on Elderly Long Term Care; and

Whereas, during her tenure in the House of Representatives she has demonstrated outstanding abilities as a leader and advocate working for better health care in South Carolina and championing the causes of women, children, and the elderly; and

Whereas, in 1992 and 1993, Representative Shissias received the Department of Health and Environmental Control Maternal and Child Health Legislator Award, was named Advocate of the Year in 1993 by the Central South Carolina Planned Parenthood, and received the South Carolina Taxpayers Association Legislative Award; and

Whereas, Representative Shissias has been an outstanding leader and a very effective consensus builder, admired for her commitment to excellence, her tenacity, and her gentle but deliberate and persuasive advocacy skills; and

Whereas, her leadership also extends to many facets of her local community and the example of volunteerism and public service set by this exceptional woman is a credit not only to herself and her family but also to the community, the State, and this General Assembly; and

Whereas, Representative Shissias has been a valuable member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, and she will be missed by her friends and colleagues. Now, therefore,

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

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Representative Shissias.
