Whereas, for more than three decades, Julie Lybrand carried out her duties as a South Carolina State Government staff member with poise and excellence, most recently as research assistant for the House Education & Public Works Committee; and
Whereas, a graduate of Converse College, Julie will tell you policy and politics have always fascinated her and that her life's work allowed her to hone these interests in numerous settings, including the United States Senate, White House, and Heritage Foundation, and, in South Carolina, the Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, State Election Commission, Legislative Information Systems, Legislative Printing, Office of the Governor, and House of Representatives; and
Whereas, Julie began work with South Carolina State Government in January 1978, with time out over the years to raise three delightful daughters. She brought her career to a conclusion in December 2014 and commenced what her colleagues, friends, and family have no doubt will prove a fruitful retirement; and
Whereas, in the community, this woman of faith is a member of Trenholm Road United Methodist Church, where she teaches Sunday School and where she and the members of her Sunday School Class have started a book club; and
Whereas, at home, she is the proud wife of James "Jim" Lybrand and the equally proud mother of Leigh Ellen Lybrand Gray (Cranston), Rebecca Lybrand, and Laura Lybrand. She is the glue that holds the family together; and
Whereas, during Julie's well-earned retirement, the House trusts she will find herself more frequently able to indulge in reading, traveling, and playing with her beloved dog, Milly; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives, grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and excellence Julie Lybrand has bestowed on the people of South Carolina, takes great pleasure in wishing her well as she enters retirement and trusts she 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 members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Julie Lybrand, research assistant for the House Education & Public Works Committee, on the occasion of her retirement, thank her for her many years of outstanding and dedicated service to the State of South Carolina, and wish her much success and fulfillment in all her future endeavors.
