HR 366: Walston, Joy; receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Joy Walston for receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award, an honor given each year during Women's History Month by the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus. The resolution recounts Walston's decade-plus career at the Frank Bailey Senior Center in Clayton County, where she rose from program aide in 2012 to center manager in 2021, and credits her with expanding health and fitness programs for seniors. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
