HR 185: Anderson, Alisa; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Alisa Anderson, who founded and leads Women's Resources Inc., a nonprofit that helps women and low-income families with immediate needs and long-term educational, financial, career, and spiritual goals. The resolution details her organization's work, including serving over 80 families, providing meals to more than 3,600 people annually, training 24 entrepreneurs, and offering life skills coaching. It credits her education at DeVry University and her partnerships with other nonprofits for expanding the group's reach. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Anderson as a form of official recognition.

• Formally recognizes and commends Alisa Anderson for her work as founder and executive director of Women's Resources Inc.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Anderson.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement, since it is a ceremonial honor rather than a legislative mandate.

• The resolving clause states the House commends Anderson for her contributions and wishes her continued success.
