HR 137: Williams, Mr. Tim; outstanding service to GreyStone Power as well as the communities and members it serves; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Mr. Tim Williams for his decades-long career at GreyStone Power, an electric cooperative formerly known as Douglas County EMC, where he worked in communications and crisis management roles including editorial specialist, director of public relations and education, and vice president of marketing and external affairs. The resolution recounts his work during major events such as the 1993 Storm of the Century and 1995 Hurricane Opal, his role in the company's rebranding, and awards GreyStone Power received during his tenure. It also notes his gubernatorial appointments to the Technical College System of Georgia State Board. The House formally commends him and directs the Clerk to send him a copy of the resolution.
