In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes Danah Craft for her 15 years leading Feeding Georgia and her earlier career lobbying at the state and federal level. The resolution commends her leadership, integrity, and community involvement, congratulates her on her retirement, and notes her continued volunteer work mentoring students in Georgia State University's Women Lead program and serving on its advisory council and as board chair of Cultured Ag. The Senate directs its Secretary to prepare a copy of the resolution for Craft as a keepsake.
