HR485: HR485 Combat Boots 2 Boardroom; dedication to empowering veterans; Combat Boots 2 Boardroom Day at the state capitol; March 11, 2025; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Combat Boots 2 Boardroom, an organization whose Veteran Pathway program offers mentorship, professional training, networking, and strategic guidance to help military veterans build careers in business, corporate leadership, or entrepreneurship. The resolution states that the House commends the organization for its work supporting Georgia veterans and designates March 11, 2025 as Combat Boots 2 Boardroom Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization. The resolution creates no new legal requirements, funding, or penalties.
