In plain language

This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally congratulates the Chinese-American Business Association of Atlanta (CBAA) on reaching its 32nd anniversary since being founded in 1992. The resolution describes the CBAA's mission of increasing business opportunities for Chinese-American entrepreneurs through meetings, seminars, and information exchanges, and notes its role in promoting Chinese culture in the Atlanta area. It names the organization's current leadership, including President Frank Zhou and three vice presidents. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for the association, serving as an official record of recognition.
