SR753: SR753 Drake, Brianne; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations.

The resolution recites her professional history, including honors such as REALTOR of the Year in 2011 and 2018, the J.L. Christian Leadership Award, and leadership posts with the National Association of REALTORS.
