TO HONOR ANDREW M. "ANDY" YOUNG, AUDIT MANAGER FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COUNCIL, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, TO EXTEND DEEP APPRECIATION FOR HIS THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO OFFER BEST WISHES FOR A SATISFYING AND REWARDING RETIREMENT.
Whereas, since 1983, the State of South Carolina has enjoyed the benefit of the dedication, experience, and leadership of Andrew M. "Andy" Young, audit manager for the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council (LAC), who soon will retire after thirty-five years of outstanding public service; and
Whereas, in preparation for his career, after graduation from Northwestern High School in Rock Hill, Andy earned his bachelor's degree in economics/urban affairs at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, followed by a master's degree in public administration from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, hired as an entry-level auditor at the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council on October 17, 1983, he worked his way up to audit manager; and
Whereas, during the course of his career, Andy has worked on more than forty audits and has managed over a dozen, including reviews of the South Carolina Department of Social Services (both child and adult protective services), Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Health & Environmental Control, Department of Health & Human Services, public pensions, First Steps, and Education Lottery; and
Whereas, Andy's presentations to the council and other committees are always thoughtful and thorough, and his keen research skills ensure that he can intelligently discuss all aspects of any of his audits. He also communicates effectively with the public. This living repository of all audits published for the past thirty-five years exhibits a remarkable memory of findings in audits, even those he did not work; and
Whereas, Andy's analytical skills got their first airing at Carowinds, where he guessed people's ages and weights. In lighter moments, he reigns as the LAC's resident Andy Griffith Show trivia expert, and he is always ready with a Bible verse or a country-song lyric for the occasion. In a more serious vein, his work ethic is unmatched. He is rarely absent from work and even came to work, on time, the morning after his apartment complex burned; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives is grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and leadership Andy Young has bestowed on the people of South Carolina. His retirement truly marks the end of an era! Speaking on behalf of his many friends across agencies in state government, the House takes great pleasure in wishing him all the best as he enters retirement, and the members trust he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor Andrew M. "Andy" Young, audit manager for the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council, on the occasion of his retirement, extend deep appreciation for his thirty-five years of distinguished public service to the State of South Carolina, and offer best wishes for a satisfying and rewarding retirement.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Andy Young.
