A house RESOLUTION

 

TO HONOR GEORGE "FRANK" SHEPPARD OF RICHLAND COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, EXTEND DEEP APPRECIATION FOR HIS YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AS AN INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND BEYOND, AND TO OFFER BEST WISHES FOR A SATISFYING AND REWARDING RETIREMENT.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives has learned that George "Frank" Sheppard, AAI, CAE, of Richland County will retire on December 31, 2024, after a career spanning decades as a distinguished member of the state's insurance industry; and

 

Whereas, Mr. Sheppard is a native of Laurens and received his undergraduate degree from The Citadel; and

 

Whereas, Mr. Sheppard has been the president and chief executive officer of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of South Carolina (the Big "I") since January 1, 2006. He joined the Big "I" staff in 1992 and previously was an independent agent with the Goldsmith Theodore Agency in Columbia. Mr. Sheppard began his insurance career with Nationwide Insurance Company as an adjuster in Columbia and Greenville and was a marketing underwriter with Marsh & McLennan Companies in Washington, D.C., before moving back to Columbia; and

 

Whereas, always a proponent of education and professional development, Mr. Sheppard holds the Accredited Advisor in Insurance (AAI), and the Certified Association Executive (CAE) designations. He was recognized by his peers in the industry in 2014 when he was named Executive of the Year by the South Carolina Society of Association Executives; and

 

Whereas, grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and excellence Frank Sheppard has demonstrated for insurance and association professionals, the House takes great pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement and trusts he 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, honor George "Frank" Sheppard of Richland County on the occasion of his retirement, extend deep appreciation for his years of distinguished service as an insurance professional to the people of South Carolina and beyond, and offer best wishes for a satisfying and rewarding retirement.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to George "Frank" Sheppard.
