A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE MEMBERS OF THE EMPOWERHER CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN BUSINESS WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION IN ORANGEBURG AND TO WELCOME THEM TO THE STATE HOUSE FOR THE FIRST ANNUAL "AMERICAN BUSINESS WOMAN'S ASSOCIATION DAY" AT THE STATE HOUSE ON MARCH 16, 2023.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to welcome the members of the Orangeburg chapter of the American Business Women's Association (ABWA) to the State House for the first annual ABWA Day at the State House; and

Whereas, the goal of ABWA, the leading career-building organization for women, is to change women's lives one woman at a time by bringing together businesswomen of diverse occupations and providing opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support, and national recognition; and

Whereas, in 1949, four women from Kansas founded the ABWA which has since broken barriers for women and on behalf of women. ABWA hosts more than five thousand business and networking meetings each year in hundreds of cities across the nation; and

Whereas, Orangeburg's EmpowerHer chapter of ABWA offers opportunities for women to benefit from personal and professional development speakers and power networking social events; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to welcome the dynamic women of ABWA to their day at the State House and to hear of their continued achievements. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the members of the EmpowerHer Chapter of the American Business Women's Association in Orangeburg and welcome them to the State House for the first annual "American Business Woman's Association Day" at the State House on March 16, 2023.
