In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes any statute. It honors Keysha J. Porter, a human resources and communications professional, for receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award, an honor the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus gives out each year during Women's History Month. The resolution recounts Porter's career across banking, federal contracting, nonprofit leadership development, and her current work at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, along with her volunteer work mentoring students through Junior Achievement of Atlanta and other programs. It closes by directing the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for Porter as a keepsake.
