Last action January 27, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally congratulates the Chinese-American Business Association of Atlanta on its 32nd anniversary and commends its work supporting Chinese-American businesses.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recognizes the Chinese-American Business Association of Atlanta (CBAA), founded in 1992, for helping Chinese-American entrepreneurs start and grow businesses through meetings, seminars, and information sharing. The resolution notes the group's leadership, including President Frank Zhou and Vice Presidents Jian Ni, Richard Li, and Xiaoheng Wang, and credits the organization with promoting Chinese culture in the Atlanta area. The House resolves to congratulate the CBAA on its 32nd anniversary and wish it continued success, and directs the Clerk of the House to send an official copy of the resolution to the organization.
