Whereas, the commission, through Mr. Bilton's efforts and those of the commission staff, has provided all circuit solicitors the administrative support and continuing legal education programs so vital to maintaining the highest professional standards in the prosecution of criminal cases throughout the State; and
Whereas, recognition, as the result of such fine work and positive efforts, came to the commission as a public body and to William Bilton as executive director through his election as Vice President of the National Association of Prosecutor Coordinators in July of 1996; and
Whereas, Mr. Bilton was further honored by being elected as president of this prestigious organization in July of 1997; at the same time he became a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of District Attorneys; and
Whereas, Mr. Bilton will complete his term as president in July, 1998; he has rendered outstanding service and, in doing so, has brought positive recognition to South Carolina; we are grateful for his efforts, hard work, and dedication and are pleased to have this opportunity to accord him special recognition. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
