A Georgia House resolution honors Arlene Davis, a longtime Vidalia area real estate professional, for her decades of leadership in the state Realtor association. ### Plain-language summary This House resolution is a ceremonial measure honoring Arlene Davis, a real estate agent licensed since 1993 who became active in local and state Realtor associations. The text recounts her career, including chairing committees for the Altamaha Basin Board of Realtors, serving as its board president, launching RE/MAX Vidalia, working with ERA Southeast Coastal Realty, serving as a Georgia Realtors (GAR) regional director, and being elected GAR president in 2007, when she started the GAR Leadership Academy. The resolution lists awards she received, including GAR Realtor of the Year honors and a spot in the GARPAC Top Investor Hall of Fame. It does not change any Georgia law. Instead, the House formally commends her public service and directs the Clerk of the House to send her a copy of the resolution. ### What it does - Formally recognizes and commends Arlene Davis for her service and career in the Georgia real estate industry. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Arlene Davis. - Creates no new law, funding, or regulatory change, since it is a ceremonial honorary resolution. ### Who it affects This resolution directly names and honors Arlene Davis, a Realtor based in the Vidalia area.
