HR1836: HR1836 Ward, Ebonie; commend

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring Ebonie Ward, founder and CEO of the Atlanta talent management company 11th & Co. The resolution recounts her career guiding artists such as Gunna and Future, her ownership of the creative space 550 RMG, and her nonprofit A Seat at the Table, which runs a scholarship fund for young women at historically Black colleges and universities. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states the House's recognition of Ward's achievements and community work, including scholarship funding and breast cancer fundraising, and wishes her continued success. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to her.
