In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Patience Babajide, an attorney and business founder, in connection with the second annual Tech Demo Day at the state capitol, scheduled for March 13, 2025, and hosted by Representative Dar'shun Kendrick. The event celebrates Women's History Month under the theme 'Women In Artificial Intelligence.' The resolution describes Babajide's career, including her work as senior corporate counsel at a workforce solutions company, her founding of the law firm Law Rooted LLC, and her co-founding of Midly, a software company for contract and document management. The House formally commends her for these accomplishments and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her a copy of the resolution.
