SR387: SR387 Chit Chat Communications; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Chit Chat Communications, a public relations and marketing firm founded in 1993 by Carla Morrison, for running its 'Celebrating Women of Color...' program for 14 consecutive years. The resolution describes the program, held each March during Women's History Month, as an event that brings together women ages 21 to 65 and girls ages 11 to 18 for networking, entertainment, inspirational speeches, and wellness activities. It lists many of the program's past keynote speakers, including elected officials, authors, and community leaders. The Senate formally commends the organization and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to Chit Chat Communications for distribution.

• Formally commends Chit Chat Communications for organizing the 14th annual 'Celebrating Women of Color...' program.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Chit Chat Communications.
• Does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia statute; it is a ceremonial statement of recognition.

Chit Chat Communications and its founder Carla Morrison, the co-organizing group Sisters of Today and Tomorrow, and the women and girls who take part in the 'Celebrating Women of Color...' program are the direct subjects of this recognition.

The resolution carries no legal effect and changes no law, but it gives official Senate recognition to a long-running Atlanta community program, which can raise its public profile and serve as a formal acknowledgment for the organization and its founder.
