It recognizes Reverend Dr. William Holmes Robinson on the occasion of his 13th anniversary leading The Olivet Church as pastor. The resolution describes his work building up the church, including a capital campaign that led to a new Worship and Services Center in 2018, and his service as chaplain for the Fulton and DeKalb County sheriff's offices and a fraternity organization. The Senate formally commends him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for him.
