HR 287: Brown, Ms. Patria; commend

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives congratulates Patria Brown, who was named the statewide recipient of the Technical College System of Georgia's 2024 EAGLE award. The award recognizes adult learners who have shown exceptional achievement in adult education classes, and Brown was chosen from among 25 delegates representing local adult education programs across the state. The resolution notes that Brown, a Cobb County School District student, will serve as an ambassador for adult education in Georgia, representing nearly 22,000 students statewide who benefit from these programs. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Brown. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it is a ceremonial statement of congratulations.

The resolution has no legal or funding effect; it is a symbolic honor. Its significance is limited to publicly recognizing one adult learner's achievement and drawing attention to Georgia's adult education programs and the students they serve.

• The resolved clause formally congratulates and commends Brown for her achievements and extends best wishes for continued success.
