Last action March 6, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution honors a group of women from Georgia, named individually in the text, for their leadership and contributions, timed around International Women's Day.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizes a set of women described as Georgia's 100 Women of Excellence. It connects the honor to International Women's Day, a globally recognized occasion celebrating women's accomplishments in leadership, innovation, and advocacy for gender equality. The resolution lists individual women by name and states that the House recognizes them, expresses appreciation and admiration for their impact, and wishes them continued success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and the press.
