[4089] 2 1 Whereas, Tim Hofferth, CHE chairman, offers this wellearned 2 commendation in praise of Gary Glenn: “We wouldn’t be where 3 we are right now without Gary Glenn. He wanted to retire back in 4 2015, but we practically begged him to stay. We owe a tremendous 5 debt of gratitude to Gary and his wife, Kim, for being willing to 6 put their plans on hold in order to serve the greater good. There 7 was no one better qualified to lead this agency over the past two 8 years of unprecedented transition. Gary’s passion and dedication to 9 higher education and the citizens of South Carolina are an 10 inspiration to all of us as we continue on our path to move the 11 CHE forward”; and 12 13 Whereas, his colleagues will remember Mr. Glenn’s trademark 14 phrase for his employees, “passion, commitment, and respect,” and 15 seek to honor it; and 16 17 Whereas, although Gary Glenn will be stepping back from the 18 daytoday operations of CHE, he has agreed, the House is pleased 19 to learn, to continue to serve the agency and the State in a 20 consulting capacity on a projectbyproject basis at the request of the 21 board; and 22 23 Whereas, Gary Glenn finds strength for his duties in the strong 24 support of his family: his lovely wife, Kim; the couple’s two 25 children, Stephen and Erin; and two charming granddaughters, 26 Sydney and Avery; and 27 28 Whereas, the House of Representatives is grateful for the legacy of 29 consistent commitment and leadership Gary Glenn has bestowed 30 on the people of South Carolina. Speaking on behalf of his many 31 friends in state government, the House takes great pleasure in 32 wishing him all the best as he enters retirement, and the members 33 trust he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the 34 days ahead. Now, therefore, 35 36 Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: 37 38 That the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this 39 resolution, honor Gary S. Glenn, interim executive director of the 40 South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, on the occasion 41 of his retirement, extend deep appreciation for his more than 42 fortyfour years of distinguished public service to the State of South
