A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO COMMEND ANDREW THEODORE "ANDY" FIFFICK IV OF COLUMBIA FOR HIS SEVEN YEARS OF OUTSTANDING AND DEDICATED LEGAL SERVICE TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, Andrew Theodore "Andy" Fiffick IV of Columbia, who for seven years has carried out his duties as legal counsel to the South Carolina House of Representatives with excellence, will soon take up new challenges as chief legal counsel to the Lieutenant Governor's office under Lieutenant Governor-elect Henry Dargan McMaster; and
Whereas, in preparation for his life's work, Andy Fiffick earned his bachelor's degree from the University of South Carolina and his juris doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law; and
Whereas, he began his legal career as a staff attorney with the Department of Revenue and on December 2, 2007, began employment with the House of Representatives as assistant legal counsel to the House Labor, Commerce and Industry (LCI) Committee; and
Whereas, in 2008, Andy Fiffick accepted the position of chief legal counsel to the House LCI Committee, and he has served in that capacity since that time; and
Whereas, during his years of service with the House staff, Andy also has worked on Judicial Merit Selection and has served the Public Utilities Review Committee. He also staffed the Review and Oversight Commission on the South Carolina Ports Authority and the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce Review Committee; and
Whereas, over the past seven years, Andy has become well known for his knowledge and understanding of regulatory law, insurance law, and employment/labor law, as well as for his in-depth understanding of legislative procedure. His legal skills and integrity have earned him an enviable reputation as a House staff member. Those who have worked with him will tell you he is always willing to help others and always more than willing to put forth the extra effort to seek resolution to a problem. In addition, he always acts with professionalism and sincere concern for the well-being of others; and
Whereas, at home, Andy is the proud husband of Casey R. Fields and delighted father of son Andrew J. "Drew" Fiffick and daughter Mary Alton Fiffick. Away from the office, he indulges in supporting Gamecock sports, cooking world-class barbeque, and spending time with his loving family and friends; and
Whereas, as he leaves the House staff to begin his new duties as chief legal counsel to the Lieutenant Governor's office, Andy Fiffick carries with him the respect and best wishes of all his House-staff colleagues and his many friends in the House of Representatives. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend Andrew Theodore "Andy" Fiffick IV of Columbia for his seven years of outstanding and dedicated legal service to the South Carolina House of Representatives and wish him much success and happiness in all his future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Andy Fiffick.
