Whereas, the Chamber has been instrumental in various projects throughout Greenwood, including the removal of the railroad tracks from downtown Greenwood, providing support for the redevelopment of Uptown, and leading efforts to update antiquated blue laws; and

Whereas, the Chamber has provided years of value-added programming, such as the Women's Leadership Council, Leadership Greenwood, the Non Profit Council, the Greenwood Hall of Fame, the Small Business Council, and many business and social networking opportunities; and

Whereas, the Greenwood Chamber has been a "champion for business and an advocate for the community" for one hundred years; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly find it fitting to honor an organization who has dedicated its mission to serving the community of Greenwood and its citizens and the members join in celebrating the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce's one hundredth anniversary. Now, therefore,
