Commending the Latin American Association and recognizing March 10, 2026, as LAA Day; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Georgia is home to a rapidly growing Latino population whose cultural, civic, and economic contributions strengthen the state's prosperity and workforce, and the LAA's wrap-around model of services continues to play a critical role in supporting this growth and in fostering a thriving, inclusive Georgia; and

WHEREAS, the LAA's Family Services and Well-Being programs provide comprehensive support to low-income Latino families by addressing urgent needs such as housing instability, food insecurity, financial hardship, and domestic violence prevention, offering bilingual crisis intervention, resource navigation, and direct assistance that stabilizes households and strengthens community well-being across Georgia; and

WHEREAS, the organization provides Economic Empowerment programs, including workforce development, ESL instruction, entrepreneurial training, and job fairs, supporting thousands of individuals each year in building long-term financial stability and contributing to Georgia's economic vibrancy; and

WHEREAS, the LAA's Youth Services programs cultivate the next generation of Latino leaders by providing mentorship, academic support, leadership development, and large-scale educational events that promote pathways to college and career success; and

WHEREAS, the LAA serves as a trusted partner to civic, corporate, nonprofit, and governmental institutions statewide, consistently demonstrating impact through community partnerships which expand the LAA's impact and exemplify the power of community-centered collaboration; and

WHEREAS, it is fitting and proper to recognize March 10, 2026, as LAA Day for the decades of meaningful service, leadership, and dedication to advancing opportunity for all residents of the State of Georgia.
