TO PROCLAIM THE WEEK OF APRIL 20-26, 1997, TO BE "SECRETARIES WEEK" AND APRIL 23, 1997, TO BE "SECRETARIES DAY".

Whereas, the secretary is resolved to maintain the highest professional and personal ethics in this increasingly vital role in today's complexities of business, industry, government, and education; and

Whereas, the professional secretary exemplifies a mastery of office skills, demonstrates the ability to assume responsibility without direct supervision, exercises initiative and judgement, and makes decisions within the scope of assigned authority; and

Whereas, the secretary believes that diligence should be directed to increased learning, efficiency, and loyalty in making an ever more valuable contribution to the office. Now, therefore,

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

That the General Assembly proclaims the week of April 20-26, 1997, to be "Secretaries Week" and April 23, 1997, to be "Secretaries Day" throughout the State of South Carolina and commends it to the attention of business and the secretary alike to pay tribute to the secretarial profession by recognizing all secretaries for their services to the community and to the State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the South Carolina Division, Professional Secretaries International.
