The resolution commends Charles C. Anderson, a lifelong resident of Florence, Alabama, for receiving the Business Alabama Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025. It highlights his early involvement in the family business, Anderson News Company, and his decision to invest in the company rather than pursue a high-paying management position. Under his leadership, the business expanded significantly, evolving into four separate companies, including Anderson Media and Books-A-Million, with his sons now serving as CEOs.

In addition to his business achievements, the resolution notes Anderson's extensive community involvement and leadership roles on various boards, including the First National Bank of Florence and the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. He has received numerous accolades throughout his career, such as being named Alumnus of the Year by the University of North Alabama and being inducted into the Alabama Business Hall of Fame. The resolution expresses the legislature's highest regard for Anderson and wishes him continued success and prosperity.
