HR 1143: Corporate and Entrepreneurial Women in Leadership Day at the Georgia State Capitol; March 5, 2026; continued observance of March 5 as Small Business Day; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a bill that changes state law. It celebrates the continued observance of March 5 as Small Business Day at the Georgia State Capitol, a tradition the General Assembly began in 2024 and reaffirmed in 2025 through House Resolution 360. The resolution designates March 5, 2026 as Corporate and Entrepreneurial Women in Leadership Day and formally recognizes several organizations, including Ms. Corporate America Georgia, Trinity International University of Ambassadors School of Business, Trinity Girls Network Corp., The Organization of World Leaders, and Hamm Financial Group, for their work in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and women's leadership development. It also directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to those organizations' leadership.

• Designates March 5, 2026 specifically as Corporate and Entrepreneurial Women in Leadership Day.
• Formally recognizes five named organizations for their contributions to entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and women's leadership.

The resolution carries no legal or funding changes; it is a symbolic gesture of recognition. Its practical effect is honorary, giving named organizations and individuals formal acknowledgment from the Georgia House and marking a date for related Capitol events.
