Whereas, his unwavering commitment to the Constitution of this State has led him to step with grace into the role of South Carolina's Lieutenant Governor, as directed by the state Constitution upon the occurrence of a vacancy in that office; and
Whereas, born the son of Samuel W. and Evelyn McDaniel McConnell on December 1, 1947, Glenn McConnell is a 1969 graduate of the College of Charleston. He earned his law degree at the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1972 and now serves as an attorney and president of CSA Galleries, Inc.; and
Whereas, Glenn McConnell believes strongly in personal involvement with his community, and his convictions have led him to serve the people of the Palmetto State in numerous capacities. His fellow South Carolinians are particularly grateful to him for his service as chairman of the Hunley Commission, created by the State of South Carolina to acquire, recover, and preserve for public display the H.L.

Whereas, he presently serves as a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Secession Camp #4; Palmetto Battalion; Civil War Preservation Trust; Marion Light Artillery and 1st Connecticut Light Artillery; National Civil War Artillery Association (instructor); and South Carolina Historical Society. In addition, he was a member of the Neighborhood Legal Assistance Program Board of Directors from 1977 to 1980; and
Whereas, in the past, he also served as chairman of the Republican Party for his county (1978-1982) and as a delegate to the Republican National Convention (1980, 1984, and 1988). For his labors, he was selected to receive the 1980 South Carolina Republican Party Outstanding Achievement Award; and
Whereas, a man of faith, Glenn McConnell serves his God as a member of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion; and
Whereas, on the occasion of his departure from the General Assembly, his legislative colleagues, grateful for Glenn McConnell's faithful service in that body, extend their best wishes for much success and fulfillment in the new challenges he looks forward to in the days ahead as South Carolina's Lieutenant Governor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend the Honorable Glenn F. McConnell of Charleston County for his thirty-two years of dedicated service as a Senator in the South Carolina General Assembly and his leadership as President Pro Tempore of the Senate since 2001, and wish him all the best as he takes up his new duties as South Carolina's Lieutenant Governor.
