HR 81: International Literacy Day; honoring the contributions of Trinity International University of Ambassadors, and celebrating Dr. Jacqueline Mohair and Dr. Cheryl Polote-Williamson; commend

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a ceremonial statement rather than a change to state law. It recognizes International Literacy Day, an observance established by UNESCO and marked each September 8 to highlight the importance of literacy in education and social progress. The resolution also honors Dr. Jacqueline Mohair, founder of Trinity International University of Ambassadors and related programs, and Dr. Cheryl Polote-Williamson, who leads the university's Christian Literary Arts and Leadership doctoral program. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to Dr. Mohair and the university. The resolution does not create any new law, funding, or requirement; it is a formal recognition adopted by the House.

• Formally recognizes International Literacy Day, observed each September 8, as promoted by UNESCO.
• Honors Trinity International University of Ambassadors and two of its affiliated programs for their work in education and leadership.
• Celebrates Dr. Jacqueline Mohair and Dr. Cheryl Polote-Williamson by name for their roles in founding and leading these literacy and leadership programs.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to Dr. Mohair and the university.

The resolution directly names Dr. Jacqueline Mohair, Dr. Cheryl Polote-Williamson, and Trinity International University of Ambassadors along with its affiliated School of Business and Chaplaincy Institute. It has no legal effect on the broader public.

Because this is a resolution rather than a bill amending Georgia law, it carries symbolic rather than legal weight. It formally acknowledges the honorees' educational work and gives them a copy of the House's recognition, but it does not change any rights, funding, or requirements for Georgians.

• The whereas clauses describe International Literacy Day's origin with UNESCO and its purpose of promoting literacy worldwide.
• The whereas clauses detail Dr. Mohair's founding of Trinity International University of Ambassadors and related institutions.
• The resolved clause has the House recognize the day and celebrate the two honorees for their contributions to literacy and leadership education.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to make copies of the resolution available to Dr. Mohair and the university.
