In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors Janea' Harris, a United States Army veteran who served six years before founding ONFIYA Agency, Inc., a nonprofit that has worked for more than a decade to address domestic violence, homelessness, grief, food insecurity, and youth development in Georgia and South Carolina. The resolution recounts her work as an author, her role as Vice President of the Douglas County DFCS Advisory Board, her partnerships with organizations like the Department of Juvenile Justice and several colleges, and awards she has received. The Senate resolves to recognize and commend her, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her with a copy of the resolution.
