In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a formal tribute rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Anne Isenhower of Atlanta, a public relations professional who died on January 1, 2026, and her son Max Podowitz, an 18-year-old New York University freshman who died unexpectedly in December 2025. The resolution recounts Isenhower's career, including work at the Atlanta History Center, SciTrek, and the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, later international public relations roles, and the strategic communications firm she founded in 2011. It expresses the House's sympathy to the family and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send an official copy of the resolution to the family.
