Last action April 2, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution commends Tracie Naylor-Griffin, a longtime Albany Technical College EMS educator, for her decades of service to emergency medical care and education.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Tracie Naylor-Griffin for more than 30 years of work in emergency medical services, both as a hands-on responder and as program chair of the Emergency Medical Services Department at Albany Technical College. The resolution notes that she continues her work while facing a terminal diagnosis of oral cancer, and praises her leadership, dedication, and impact on the students she has trained. The House formally commends her for her career of saving lives and educating future EMS professionals, and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
