A RESOLUTION

Honoring Georgia's retirees and the Georgia State Retirees Association; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, GSRA is dedicated to enhancing and promoting education, as well as the welfare of the entire Georgia state government community relative to the retirement and health care benefits that are provided to State of Georgia employees; and

WHEREAS, it provides educational opportunities for members, including the exchange of information, ideas, knowledge, and expertise in all matters affecting the well-being of the community, including but not limited to retirement and insurance benefits; and

WHEREAS, GSRA recognizes that the two common interests that bind retirees of state government, local school systems, and the Board of Regents are pension benefits based upon salary, length of service, and health insurance; and

WHEREAS, GSRA honors the many thousands of individuals who enriched the State by their dedicated service and advocates for retention and continued excellence by assisting and encouraging the State to keep its promises to its workforce for retirement and insurance benefits; and

WHEREAS, this association advocates and provides assistance for those actively serving the State of Georgia, and for those who provide or have provided service in the education of the children of Georgia; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this exemplary association be honored.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body honor Georgia's retirees and the Georgia State Retirees Association. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the Georgia State Retirees Association.
