A Georgia House resolution commends Phenomenal Hues Global Network, an organization that supports minority women-led businesses, for its mentorship and coaching work. ### Plain-language summary This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Phenomenal Hues Global Network for its work empowering minority women-led businesses through coaching, mentorship, and access to capital. The resolution notes that the network has hosted conferences and sponsored women's events, that more than 20 women coaches have provided over 200,000 mentorship and coaching hours, and that this work helps build a new investor class of Black women funding minority-led companies. It names founder Donnetta Wells and several coaches. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Phenomenal Hues Global Network for supporting minority women-led businesses. - States findings about the organization's mentorship hours, conferences, and awards without creating any new legal requirement. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the organization. - Extends the House's best wishes for the organization's continued success. ### Who it affects Phenomenal Hues Global Network, its founder Donnetta Wells, and its named coaches (Laura Cooper, Denise Huginne, Jessica Meyers, Michelle Outlaw, and Ashley Scott) receive formal recognition; the Clerk of the House is tasked with preparing the commemorative copy. ### Why it matters This resolution carries no legal or financial effect; it does not change Georgia law or provide funding.
