HR354: HR354 Phenomenal Hues Global Network; commend

Last action February 21, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends Phenomenal Hues Global Network, an organization that supports minority women-led businesses, for its work mentoring entrepreneurs.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Phenomenal Hues Global Network, a group that says it empowers minority women-led businesses through coaching, mentorship, and access to capital. The resolution notes the network has hosted conferences and women's events, that more than 20 coaches have provided over 200,000 mentorship hours, and that the group aims to build a new investor class of Black women funding minority-led companies. It names the network's founder, Donnetta Wells, and several coaches. The House resolves to commend the organization for its contributions to women entrepreneurs and directs the Clerk of the House to send the organization a copy of the resolution.
