In plain language

This resolution is a ceremonial honor passed by the Georgia Senate. It recognizes Gail B. Hambrick, who serves as Clayton County Commissioner for District 2, for receiving the 2026 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award, an honor given each year during Women's History Month by the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus. The resolution recounts Hambrick's more than 30 years as a Clayton County resident and her work supporting public safety, infrastructure, education, youth services, and recreation. It does not change any Georgia law. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Hambrick as a keepsake.
