A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO HONOR CLEO STEELE FOR HER MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE HORRY COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly has learned that Cleo Steele has rendered outstanding and invaluable service to the Horry County Republican Party and that her dedication and service have greatly enhanced the presence of the Republican Party in Horry County; and

Whereas, active in the Republican Party since moving to South Carolina nearly three decades ago, Cleo epitomizes service to her party and its conservative platform. She runs circles around those half her age and is always among the first to roll up her sleeves and help in any way needed; and

Whereas, for three decades, she has been a volunteer, phone banker, door knocker, fundraiser, political strategist, event planner, campaign manager, and activist. She served on the South Carolina GOP Executive Committee for two terms and once served as vice president of the Horry County Republican Party. Cleo is current secretary for the 7th congressional district and former secretary for the 1st congressional district. Further, she has been a county and statewide delegate to the conventions for decades and once served as national alternate delegate. All these duties she has carried out with her usual energy, warmth, and enthusiasm; and

Whereas, leaders are normally one of two types: a visionary who sees the forest through the trees or an effective manager who sees the trees before the forest. Cleo Steele is both. Those with whom she has worked know her as a hyperproductive individual, an excellent problem solver and multitasker, and a highly skilled communicator. In addition, she is a strategic planner with exceptional supervisory and management skills; and

Whereas, founder of the North Myrtle Beach Republican Club sixteen years ago, Cleo served as its president for many years. Ultimately, it may be said of her that the foundational successes of the Horry County Republican Party and the South Carolina Republican Party were built on the dedicated efforts of Cleo Steele; and

Whereas, taking great pleasure in recognizing Cleo's fine service to the Horry County Republican Party, the members of the General Assembly wish her well in all her future endeavors. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, honor Cleo Steele for her many years of dedicated service to the Horry County Republican Party.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Cleo Steele.
