Last action March 27, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution honors Cyndi West for 25 years of service to the Georgia State Senate and 34 total years of service to the state.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia General Assembly, not a change to state law. It recognizes Cyndi West, a longtime staff member who began her career in 1991 at the Georgia World Congress Center and later worked as an event coordinator at the Georgia Dome before joining the Georgia State Senate staff. The resolution recounts that she served under seven different senators over the years and spent her entire 25-year Senate tenure supporting Senator Ed Harbison, handling legislative work, communications, and constituent services. The Senate commends her for 25 years of service to the chamber and 34 total years of service to the state, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to give her a copy of the resolution.
