A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE BARRY JURS, BERKELEY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT VICE CHAIR, ON RECEIVING THE SOUTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF CONSERVATION DISTRICTS 2022 COMMISSIONER OF THE YEAR AWARD.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Berkeley Soil and Water Conservation District Vice Chair Barry Jurs of the Bonneau community was selected to receive the South Carolina Association of Conservation Districts 2022 Commissioner of the Year award; and

Whereas, this dedicated conservationist's thirty-nine-year mission of seeking ways to improve natural resources at both the county and state levels has brought him this honor; and

Whereas, from January 23 to 25, 2023, Mr. Jurs was in Greenville to accept his award formally before fellow conservation district commissioners representing each of the state's forty-six counties; and

Whereas, he was chosen from a field of two hundred thirty unpaid commissioners statewide, who pull together toward the common goal of promoting the wise and responsible use of natural resources; and

Whereas, in addition to his contributions as a conservation district executive officer, Barry Jurs also presently serves as senior project manager of economic development for Santee Cooper, which focuses on providing economic development while concurrently enhancing and/or addressing quality-of-life matters impacting citizens statewide; and

Whereas, Mr. Jurs promotes a connection between business and the environment, which are complementary forces. It is an approach, he firmly believes, that fosters prosperity; and

Whereas, the House takes great pleasure in saluting Barry Jurs on winning the coveted South Carolina Association of Conservation Districts 2022 Commissioner of the Year award. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Barry Jurs, Berkeley Soil and Water Conservation District vice chair, on receiving the South Carolina Association of Conservation Districts 2022 Commissioner of the Year award.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Barry Jurs.
