HR1633: HR1633 Vietnamese Women's Association of Georgia; commend
Last action March 6, 2026 · House Read and Adopted
A Georgia House resolution formally commends the Vietnamese Women's Association of Georgia for its community service and cultural work, and directs the House Clerk to provide the group a copy.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the Vietnamese Women's Association of Georgia, a nonprofit founded in 2006 that supports the Vietnamese community in Georgia, especially women and families. The resolution's preamble describes the organization's work, including cultural festivals, leadership and financial literacy programs for women, outreach to people experiencing homelessness in Gwinnett County, a Christmas program for refugee families in Clarkston, participation in health fairs, and fundraising for flood relief in several states and in Vietnam. The resolution itself does not change any Georgia law. It simply has the House commend the organization for its service and wish it continued success, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the organization.

- Extends the House's best wishes to the organization for continued success.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the organization.
