HR 665: Georgia Association of Senior Centers in honor of National Senior Center Month; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Georgia Association of Senior Centers (GASC), an organization founded to bring together senior center professionals from Georgia's rural, urban, and suburban communities to strengthen operations, programming, and leadership at senior centers statewide. The resolution praises GASC's founding board members by name and credits the organization with building a statewide network to support older adults through health, wellness, education, and social engagement programs. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to GASC. The resolution does not create funding, requirements, or penalties; its only concrete action is authorizing that copy.

• Formally commends the Georgia Association of Senior Centers for its work supporting senior centers throughout Georgia.
• Names and recognizes six founding board members of GASC for establishing the organization.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to GASC.
• Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory requirement; it is a symbolic statement by the House of Representatives.

The Georgia Association of Senior Centers and its founding board members are directly named and honored. More broadly, the resolution touches senior center professionals and older adults across Georgia who benefit from the organization's work, though it imposes no obligations on them.

Because this is a commendation rather than a law, it has no direct legal or financial effect on Georgians. Its practical significance is symbolic: it gives official recognition from the state legislature to an organization that supports senior centers and the older adults who rely on them.

• The resolving clause commends GASC for its service and leadership in supporting older adults across Georgia.
• The resolution names the founding board members, including Tori Strawter-Tanks as President and Founder and five other officers.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make a copy available for distribution to GASC.
