SR 357: Anderson, Alisa; congratulate

This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Alisa Anderson, founder and executive director of Women's Resources Inc., for receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leader Award, an honor given each Women's History Month by the Georgia Legislative Women's Caucus. The resolution describes her nonprofit's work helping women and low-income families, including serving over 80 families, providing meals to more than 3,600 individuals annually, and training 24 entrepreneurs. The Senate formally congratulates her and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to her.
