In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate honoring Pamela Collins, a community volunteer, for receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leader Award. The award is given annually during Women's History Month by the Georgia Legislative Women's Caucus to recognize women who show the kind of leadership embodied by former Representative Nikki T. Randall, the first African American woman elected to the General Assembly from middle Georgia. The resolution recounts Collins's decades of volunteer service in the South Fulton area, her leadership roles with groups such as the National Council of Negro Women and Delta Sigma Theta, and her work with Clayton County civic organizations. It does not change any Georgia law; it directs the Secretary of the Senate's office to send Collins an official copy of the resolution as a keepsake.

  • Directs the Clerk of the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Collins.
