Whereas, under Mr. White's leadership and efficient management, Little River Electric Cooperative has experienced sixty percent growth in the number of consumer-members it serves since he started with the co-op twenty-six years ago; and

Whereas, he has ably served on the boards of Central Electric Power Cooperative, New Horizon Electric Cooperative, Cooperative Electric Energy Utility Supply, and the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina; and

Whereas, he has helped to ensure reliable, affordable service for the member-owners of Little River Electric Cooperative and the nineteen other independent, consumer-owned South Carolina cooperatives; and

Whereas, Mr. White has promoted economic development efforts in Little River Electric Cooperative's service area, working with officials in Abbeville, Anderson, Greenwood, and McCormick counties to attract and retain industries and the jobs they provide to benefit co-op members and local citizens, and for many years he served on the Bank of Abbeville Board of Directors; and

Whereas, Mr. White has been married to his lovely wife, Judy, for thirty-six wonderful years, and they are the proud parents of one son, Christopher; and

Whereas, they are members of the First Baptist Church of Abbeville, and although born and reared in Mississippi, Mr. and Mrs. White consider Abbeville and South Carolina their true home; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are grateful for the years of dedication and outstanding leadership that Mr. White has given to Little River Electric Cooperative and wish him many years of enjoyment in his well-earned retirement. Now, therefore,

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