Dalton Floyd
receives the
State's Highest
Civilian Honor

South Carolina's highest civilian honor, The Order of the Palmetto, was awarded yesterday to Dalton B. Floyd, Jr. for his exemplary service to the state and nation.
An attorney practicing in Surfside Beach, S.C. and a resident of Murrells Inlet, Floyd was a member and leader of the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education from July 1996 through April 2005. During that time he witnessed great growth and change at our state's colleges and universities. Having served as Vice Chairman and Chairman, his diplomatic and thoughtful leadership skills allowed the Commission to face and work through difficult issues. In addition, many civic, community and business organizations have benefited from his wisdom, keen insight, and strong support.
His leadership at the Commission on Higher Education has been steady and farsighted. He paved the way for a stronger, more unified and well poised Commission that will deal with the challenges and opportunities ahead. We will miss his input, shared Dr. Conrad Festa, the Commission's Executive Director.
As Mr. Floyd was presented the prestigious award he expressed, "I guided the ship, but the heavy lifting goes to the staff and other Commission members. I am humbled by the honor."
