VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO COMMEND HELEN ANN S. THROWER OF RICHLAND COUNTY FOR HER OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AS ASSISTANT CLERK, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, AND LEGAL COUNSEL TO THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE, TO CONGRATULATE HER ON HER NEW POSITION WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, RECREATION, AND TOURISM, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES TO HER IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, Helen Ann S. Thrower grew up in Charleston and is the daughter of Lanneau Holton and Mary Helen Siegling; and
Whereas, a 1996 graduate of the College of Charleston, Ms. Thrower received her juris doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1999; and
Whereas, she began her service with the House of Representatives in 2000 as staff counsel to the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee where she ably handled the complex areas of insurance, banking, and public utility law. During her service with the committee, she also volunteered her service to the Judicial Merit Selection Commission and worked diligently to screen the state's judicial candidates; and
Whereas, after distinguishing herself at the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, this bright young attorney left the House to become General Counsel to the South Carolina Medical Association in 2004; and
Whereas, fortunately her love of the political process and her affection for the House of Representatives called her back, and she was appointed Assistant Clerk on January 1, 2005. Since that time, she has also managed to juggle her Assistant Clerk duties with other responsibilities serving concurrently as Assistant Director of Research and Legal Counsel to the House Ethics Committee; and
Whereas, Ms. Thrower will be taking her considerable talents and legal expertise with her as she embarks on yet a new challenge. On January 22, 2007, she will become Director of Governmental Affairs and Legal Counsel to the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism; and
Whereas, her work ethic and many and varied contributions to the House of Representatives are to be commended and will not soon be forgotten; however, she is not just a dedicated public servant but is also a devoted wife and mother. She is the beloved wife of husband, Keith, and together they have one cherished daughter, Kate Patrick, who was born on May 5, 2005; and
Whereas, the Throwers are active members of Shandon Presbyterian Church where Ms. Thrower also serves as a Senior High Youth Advisor; and
Whereas, this dedicated and personable young woman also finds the time in her busy schedule to help those in crisis by volunteering with Sistercare, Inc. which is so dear to her generous heart; and
Whereas, the members and staff of the South Carolina House of Representatives express their sincere gratitude to Ms. Thrower for her hard work and the professionalism with which she did the work of the House in so many different capacities over the years and wish her great success and prosperity in the future. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina commend Helen Ann S. Thrower of Richland County for her outstanding service to the South Carolina House of Representatives as Assistant Clerk, Assistant Director of Research, and Legal Counsel to the House Ethics Committee, congratulate her on her new position with the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism, and extend best wishes to her in all her future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Helen Ann S. Thrower of Richland County.
