A house RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR Pamela L. Christopher, the President and CEO of the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce, for her decade OF EXEMPLARY SERVICE, AND TO WISH HER CONTINUED SUCCESS in her new role as Chair of the South Carolina Department of Transportation Commission.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives have learned that Pamela L. Christopher, the highly regarded president and CEO of Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce for ten years, has added a new hat to her milliner's wardrobe to become the first female to serve as the chair of the South Carolina Department of Transportation Commission (SCDOT); and

 

Whereas, Ms. Christopher began serving the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce as its first female president and CEO in 2014 and has overseen the day-to-day operations of more than eight hundred member organizations dedicated to strengthening the business community of Anderson County through promotion, advocacy, connection, and education; and

 

Whereas, the Carolinas Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (CACCE), which formed in 1994, recognized Ms. Christopher as the 2022 South Carolina Chamber Executive of the Year at their Annual Management Conference for her work with business partners and executives in the community to foster positive growth, facilitate positive movement, and strengthen the economic vitality of Anderson County and of the region; and

 

Whereas, the CACCE Executive of the Year Award recognizes long-term executives who have excelled over a period of years in leading and innovatively building their chamber.  The award is based on the demonstration of excellence in areas of chamber leadership, organizational management, service to the profession, community reputation and involvement, and personal attributes; and   

 

Whereas, serving on countless boards and committees, Ms. Christopher is a fierce advocate for small and minority businesses.  One of her many positions has been to serve on the SCDOT Commission, and she has now become the first woman to serve as its chair; and

 

Whereas, together with her beloved husband of forty-one years, Larry, she has reared two fine sons, Larry, Jr., and Jordan.  They have blessed her with the love of three adoring grandchildren; Adalyn, Harrison, and Lucas; and

 

Whereas, grateful for her continued years of distinguished service to the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce, the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending best wishes to Pamela Christopher as she begins her service as the chair of the South Carolina Department of Transportation Commission.  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 Pamela L. Christopher, the President and CEO of the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce, for her decade of exemplary service, and wish her continued success in her new role as chair of the South Carolina Department of Transportation Commission.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Pamela L. Christopher.
