A Georgia House resolution commends the Conn Family for a combined 173 years of service at the state Capitol across three generations, spanning roles in the Clerk's Office, the Governor's Office, and the Georgia Building Authority.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the Conn Family for their long history of work at the state Capitol, known as the Gold Dome. It recounts the service of seven family members: Roy, Clifford, Jane, Judy, Mandy, Brian, and Barry Conn, whose combined tenure totals 173 years across agencies including the Georgia Building Authority, the Governor's Office, and the Clerk's Office. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally recognizes and commends the family for their service and wishes them future health, happiness, and success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for the family.
