In plain language
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Larry Campbell, who founded the nonprofit Corners Outreach more than 12 years ago. The organization runs Corners Academy, which provides tutoring to thousands of students and partners with Title I schools, and Corners Social Enterprise, which helps parents and young adults find stable jobs through training and certifications. The resolution recounts Campbell's earlier career founding a technology consulting company, his recognition as a Braves Community Hero, and his role as an elder and pastor at Corners Church. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It formally recognizes and commends Campbell for his leadership and community service, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
