In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Sherrod Davis, co-founder and CEO of EcoMap Technologies, for his work in the technology industry, including his role in building EcoMap's Ecosystem Intelligence Platform and his earlier ventures AdWap, TrackOFF, and Protenus. The resolution ties the honor to the second annual Tech Demo Day at the state capitol on March 13, 2025, hosted by Representative Dar'shun Kendrick under the theme 'Women In Artificial Intelligence.' It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Davis as a keepsake. It does not create any new rights, funding, or legal requirements.
