In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Nyala Allen, who served in the United States Army from 1996 to 2012, for her military service and for her work afterward as a business owner. The resolution highlights her roles as CEO of Key Coaching & Consulting, LLC and founder of ACE Veteran Realty, LLC, a veteran-owned real estate firm that helps military families use VA loan benefits to buy homes. The resolution notes she received the President's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024 and belongs to a local realtors' association's Million Dollar Club. The Senate resolves to commend her for her service and wish her continued success, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to give her a copy of the resolution.
