A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR MENDY CORDER, MUNICIPAL CLERK FOR THE CITY OF CAYCE, UPON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT AFTER NEARLY THREE DECADES OF EXEMPLARY SERVICE, AND TO WISH HER CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate have learned that Mendy Corder will begin a well-deserved retirement after twenty-nine years with the City of Cayce, the last of which have been as the city's distinguished and highly regarded municipal clerk; and

 

Whereas, at the age of twenty-four, Ms. Corder began her storied career with the City of Cayce as the city's receptionist in 1996, where her welcoming presence and organizational skills quickly made her a valuable part of the team; and

 

Whereas, she served in the records department at the Cayce Police Department, supporting critical operations with professionalism, accuracy, and discretion, before she returned to city hall, where her leadership and institutional knowledge continued to grow. Ms. Corder served as administrative coordinator for the City Manager's Office; and

 

Whereas, as the administrative coordinator, Ms. Corder played a key role in the day-to-day operations of city government and took on the responsibilities of municipal clerk, a role essential to ensure transparency, compliance, and the smooth functioning of city council and municipal processes; and

 

Whereas, she oversaw events, bringing the vision to life from the Mayors Institute for City Design for the award-winning Soiree on State. She managed public buildings, contributing behind the scenes to many of the programs, initiatives, meetings, and community events that residents and staff have come to enjoy and rely on with keen attention to detail, steady guidance, and commitment to service; and

 

Whereas, for more than Soiree on State, Ms. Corder gave leadership and organizational skills to such events as the Bluegrass Festival, Fall Fest, and appreciation dinners, and she assisted with the development of the Cayce Art Lot and the creation of the Cayce Cool Down, using her leadership and assistance to ensure each initiative's success, all the while faithfully carrying out her municipal clerk responsibilities and maintaining public buildings on campus; and

 

Whereas, grateful for her many years of distinguished service to City of Cayce, the South Carolina Senate takes great pleasure in extending best wishes to Mendy Corder as she transitions to a richly deserved retirement and the unhurried pace of the days ahead, and the members wish her many years of enjoyment in her well-earned retirement. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor Mendy Corder, municipal clerk for the City of Cayce, upon the occasion of her retirement after nearly three decades of exemplary service, and wish her continued success and happiness in all her future endeavors.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mendy Corder.
