WHEREAS, the Reapportionment Office provides vital and essential services to the operations of the General Assembly and is responsible for the arduous and monumental task of providing, often on an around the clock basis, the technical and creative assistance necessary for the preparation of the legislative and congressional reapportionment bills and local bills reapportioning county commissioners, school boards, and municipal governing authorities; and

WHEREAS, her significant organizational and leadership talents, her remarkable patience and diplomacy, her keen sense of vision, and her sensitivity to the needs of the members of the General Assembly have earned her the respect and admiration of her colleagues and associates and the members of this body in particular; and

WHEREAS, she is a person of magnanimous strengths with an unimpeachable reputation for integrity, intelligence, fairness, and kindness; her loyalty, competency, reliability, and enthusiasm have distinguished her superlative service to this state; and her friendship is counted by both legislators and staff as a special experience they will always treasure; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that the outstanding accomplishments of this distinguished Georgian be appropriately recognized.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body
