A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND SUSAN SMITH BARDEN, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH AND ATTORNEY TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, FOR HER EXCELLENT SERVICE TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE SENATE AS A WHOLE, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES TO HER AS SHE IS APPOINTED AND CONFIRMED IN HER NEW POSITION AS AN AT-LARGE MEMBER OF THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION.

Whereas, Susan Smith Barden grew up in Hartsville, South Carolina, the daughter of Augusta Groome (Pat) Smith and the late Sterling Smith; and

Whereas, after graduating from Converse College with a Bachelor's of Music in Piano Performance in 1981, and from Wake Forest University School of Law in 1984, and after working for United States Attorney Henry D. McMaster as a second year law student in 1983, Susan was employed as a Staff Attorney with the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1985; and

Whereas, in 1988, she became Assistant Director of Research and Attorney to the Senate Judiciary Committee; and

Whereas, in 1990, she served as Director of Research for the Senate Agriculture Committee, chaired by Senator John C. Land, III, before returning to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991 as Assistant Director of Research and Attorney to the Committee; and

Whereas, she has the distinction of having served as Assistant Director of Research and Attorney to the Senate Judiciary Committee for three chairmen, Senator Marshall B. Williams of Orangeburg, Senator Donald H. Holland of Kershaw, and Senator Glenn F. McConnell of Charleston; and

Whereas, her expertise in research and drafting legislation has proven an invaluable asset to the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate as a whole in many diverse fields including, but not limited to: Alcoholic Beverages, Campaign Finance and Ethics, Concealed Weapons, Election Law, Family Law, Gambling and Lottery Issues, Homeland Security, Probate, Reapportionment, Restructuring, and Workers' Compensation; and

Whereas, the members and staff of the Senate will miss her strong work ethic, professionalism, gracious assistance, and prevailing good humor; and

Whereas, with the loving support of her husband David and children Charlotte and Will, Susan will soon embark on a new career challenge serving as a member of the Workers' Compensation Commission; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate express their sincere gratitude to Susan for her many years of dedicated and excellent service to the General Assembly and State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, although her presence in the Senate will be missed, her resourcefulness and depth of knowledge will continue to benefit and enhance the well-being of the officials, employees, and citizens of this State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate commend Susan Smith Barden, for her excellent service to the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate as a whole, and extend best wishes to her as she is appointed and confirmed in her new position as an at-large member of the Workers' Compensation Commission.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Susan Smith Barden.
