In plain language

Instead, it recognizes Denise Rumbaugh for her service in Gwinnett County, including her role as Vice Chairwoman of the Gwinnett County Zoning Board of Appeals, her appointment to the Citizens Budget Review Committee, her work on education oversight and disciplinary committees for Gwinnett County Public Schools, and her leadership in the Gwinnett County Republican Party from 2021 to 2025. The resolution also notes her earlier community involvement, including co-directing the Suwanee Pageant and serving as president and vice president of her homeowners association. It closes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to provide Rumbaugh with an official copy of the resolution as a keepsake of the honor.
