In plain language
This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Vicki Pilgrim for her decades of work promoting health and active aging among older Georgians through the Georgia Golden Olympics, which she has served since its founding in 1980. The resolution recounts her leadership roles, including national service on the National Senior Games Association Board of Directors, her 35-year public health career with the Georgia Department of Public Health, and her involvement with the Georgia Recreation and Park Association. It also lists honors she has received. The House resolves to recognize and commend her, and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her a copy of the resolution.
