A RESOLUTION
Congratulating Robert L. Strother, the 2023-2024 Georgia Logger of the Year; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, Robert L. Strother was recently named the 2023-2024 Georgia Logger of the Year by the Georgia Forestry Association (GFA) and the Southeastern Wood Producers Association (SWPA) in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the forestry supply chain; and
WHEREAS, the Logger of the Year Award honors individuals who are nominated by the forestry community and evaluated by a professional committee for their exceptional service and impact on the timber industry; and
WHEREAS, a third-generation logger, Robert L. Strother has upheld a family tradition that began with his grandfather in the 1930s, and he has further extended this legacy through his son—the fourth generation of Strothers in the logging industry; and
WHEREAS, he began his distinguished logging career in 2000 and has since maintained his family's deep roots in the community, which include delivering the first load of wood to Georgia Pacific's Warrenton Mill in the late 1960s; and
WHEREAS, he currently leads the Strother Timber Company, which operates with four logging crews and a fleet of 20 company trucks as well as hauls an average of 240 loads of wood per week throughout the middle Georgia region; and
WHEREAS, as further testament to his dedication to the forestry community, he sponsors GFA's Northeast Georgia Regional Forestry Meeting, participates in local GFA and SWPA activities, and regularly hosts University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources students for tours of his harvesting operations; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this outstanding Georgian be appropriately honored during this special time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body congratulate Robert L. Strother upon being named the 2023-2024 Georgia Logger of the Year and extend the most sincere best wishes for continued success. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to Robert L. Strother.
