It honors Joann Herrell, a real estate professional who spent more than 50 years in the industry in Georgia and formerly owned Westberry Realty, a Century 21 franchise. The resolution recites her career accomplishments, her personal philosophy of never giving up, and her ties to her church and family. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for Herrell so she can keep it as a formal record of the chamber's recognition.

• States the Senate's praise for her positivity, hard work, and her personal motto of never saying never.
