En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors Self Enhancement Inc. (SEI), a Portland, Oregon based youth organization founded in 1981, and the Bigger Than Basketball Camp it has run in Atlanta since 2017. The resolution recounts how Atlanta community leaders Rodney Lumpkins and Crescentia Dixon brought the camp to Georgia, how it has served 80 to 100 middle school students each summer through mentorship and leadership training, and how SEI staff from Portland travel to Atlanta yearly to support it. It formally commends the organization and its leaders and directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to those named, including Tony Hopson, Crescentia Dixon, and Rodney Lumpkins.
