SR357: SR357 Anderson, Alisa; congratulate

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Alisa Anderson, who founded and leads Women's Resources Inc., a nonprofit that helps women and low-income families with education, financial, career, and spiritual goals. The resolution describes the nonprofit's work, including serving more than 80 families, providing meals to over 3,600 people a year, and mentoring 24 entrepreneurs. It formally congratulates Anderson for winning the award, named for former Representative Nikki T. Randall, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
