Last action January 15, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally commends Danah Craft for 15 years of service as executive director of Feeding Georgia and congratulates her on her retirement.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes any statute. It recognizes Danah Craft for her 15 years leading Feeding Georgia, an organization focused on food assistance, and for her earlier career lobbying at the state and federal level. The resolution states that the House commends Craft's public service, congratulates her on her retirement, and wishes her continued health and happiness. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Craft. The document has no regulatory or funding effect; it is purely an honorary statement adopted by the House.
