Last action March 31, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution recognizes and commends Jennifer Boger, a principal program analyst in the Senate Budget and Evaluation Office, for her 35-year career in public finance.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate honoring Jennifer Boger, who worked as a principal program analyst in the Georgia State Senate Budget and Evaluation Office starting in 2023. The resolution recounts her 35-year career in budgetary and financial analysis, which began in Pennsylvania state government in 1991 and included roles with the Pennsylvania Senate Appropriations Committee, the Pennsylvania Independent Fiscal Office, and the Pennsylvania Auditor General's office before she joined the Georgia Senate staff. The resolution formally commends her for her service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for her. It does not change any Georgia law, create any program, or spend any state funds; it is a formal statement of appreciation adopted by the Senate.
