HR1719: HR1719 Wilson, Monique; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it formally commends Monique Wilson, a breast cancer survivor diagnosed in 2016, for her work as a cancer care coordinator, board-certified mastectomy fitter, wellness coach, national advocate, and ordained minister. The resolution recounts her advocacy work, including becoming an NCCS Elevate Ambassador with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship, traveling to Capitol Hill to support federal survivorship legislation, and serving as chapter president of the Sisters Network in Southwest Georgia and as a coordinator with the Young Survival Coalition. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Wilson as a keepsake recognizing her service to cancer survivors.
