In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors Nancy Daves for receiving the 2026 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leadership Award, an annual recognition given by the Georgia Women's Legislative Caucus during Women's History Month to women who reflect the leadership of former Representative Nikki T. Randall. The resolution recounts Daves' work with conservation groups such as the Tybee Island Marine Science Center, the Georgia Sierra Club, and Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, as well as her prior 23 years with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
