Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution commends Larry Campbell, founder and CEO of Corners Outreach, for his work fighting generational poverty through education and job programs in the Atlanta area. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a formal statement from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Larry Campbell, the President and CEO of Corners Outreach, a nonprofit he founded more than 12 years ago. The resolution describes how his organization built two main programs, Corners Academy, which has tutored more than 3,000 students, and Corners Social Enterprise, which has created jobs and job training for parents and young adults since 2018. The resolution also recounts Campbell's earlier career founding a technology consulting company, his community honors such as being named a Braves Community Hero, and his family and church roles. It resolves that House members recognize and commend him and wish him continued success, and directs the Clerk of the House to give him a copy of the resolution. It does not change any Georgia law. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Larry Campbell for his leadership at Corners Outreach and his community service. - States the House's best wishes for Campbell's continued success but creates no legal obligations or funding. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Larry Campbell. ### Who it affects The resolution directly names Larry Campbell and Corners Outreach, along with the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who is tasked with distributing a copy. It has no broader legal effect on other Georgians or organizations. ### Why it matters This is a ceremonial honor rather than a change to Georgia law, so its practical effect is limited to public recognition. It gives Campbell and his nonprofit's anti-poverty, education, and job training work an official acknowledgment from the state legislature. ### Key provisions - The whereas clauses describe Campbell's founding of Corners Outreach over 12 years ago and its two programs, Corners Academy and Corners Social Enterprise. - The resolved clause formally commends Campbell for his leadership and service and wishes him continued success. - A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to Campbell. ## Status - Status: Passed (2025-03-06) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2025-03-06) - Sponsors: Marvin Lim, Matt Reeves, Arlene Beckles, Ruwa Romman, Mary Ann Santos - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/71222 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr531.md?full=1
