TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR DR. PAUL KROHNE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION, UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE, AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina should pause in their deliberations to express their gratitude to Dr. Paul Krohne for his significant contributions to public education in the Palmetto State; and
Whereas, during his thirty-year career in public education, Dr. Krohne has also worked as a teacher, as the deputy commissioner of education with the Indiana Department of Education, as senior policy advisor for education in the Office of the Governor of Indiana, and as a professor of educational administration at both Ohio University and Furman University; and
Whereas, prior to joining the South Carolina School Boards Association, he served as executive director for the New Hampshire School Boards Association for seven years; and
Whereas, Dr. Krohne joined the South Carolina School Boards Association as executive director on January 1, 2001; and
Whereas, under Dr. Krohne's leadership, the South Carolina School Boards Association has become a leading voice for public education in South Carolina; and
Whereas, Dr. Krohne's dedication to public schools and local school board service is only surpassed by his love and devotion to his family: wife Carryl, sons Eric and Todd, daughter-in-law Zoe, and grandchildren Liesel and Joshua; and
Whereas, an avid sailor and golfer, Dr. Krohne is also active in his community through his fundraising work to fight Multiple Sclerosis, advocacy for children's rights as a court appointed special advocate, membership and service to First Church in Belfast, Maine, and past recruiting work as a Blue and Gold Officer for the United States Naval Academy; and
Whereas, in recognition of his superb service and leadership, Paul Krohne was recognized in 2003 by the National School Boards Association as a recipient of the Thomas A. Shannon Award for Excellence; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are grateful for the years of dedication that Dr. Krohne has rendered on behalf of education in our State and wish him many years of enjoyment as he begins his well-earned retirement in July 2015. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and honor Dr. Paul Krohne, Executive Director for the South Carolina School Boards Association, upon the occasion of his retirement after fourteen years of outstanding service, and wish him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors.
