HR 1562: Milon, Kelbie; receiving the 2026 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It congratulates Kelbie Milon, who leads The Refuge Center, for receiving the 2026 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award, an honor the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus gives out each year during Women's History Month to recognize women leaders in the state. The resolution recounts Milon's history with The Refuge Center, which she first encountered as a client nearly 18 years ago before volunteering, joining the staff, and becoming Executive Director in 2025. It notes the organization served 972 clients in her first year as director and won a Nonprofit of the Year award. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy for Milon and does not change any Georgia law.
