In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally recognizes February 26, 2026, as 4-H day at the state capitol and commends a long list of young people and adult volunteers involved in Georgia's 4-H youth program for their leadership and achievements during the 2025-2026 program year. The resolution names the State 4-H President, the State 4-H Leader, district presidents, national conference delegates, and winners of several awards, including the Leadership in Action award, the Deans Awards, the William H. Booth Award, the Ryles Rising Star Award, and volunteer recognitions. It directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press.
