En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives commemorates Sally FitzGerald, who died on February 11, 2025, at age 87. It recounts her career in information technology, her advocacy for restoring elected leadership to the Fulton County Board of Education in 1984, her support for the 2005 referendum that created the City of Sandy Springs, and her long service in PTA leadership and civic advocacy groups like the League of Women Voters of Georgia. The resolution formally recognizes February 14, 2026, as Sally FitzGerald Day at the state capitol and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to her family. It does not change any Georgia law; it is a ceremonial honor.
