A RESOLUTION


Recognizing and commending the University of West Georgia Advocates Program; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, these advocates, united by an interest in improving UWG´s well-being, cultivate positive relationships with their legislators and other community and state leaders and help keep decision makers better informed about UWG and higher education issues; and

WHEREAS, whether they are sending emails to the Governor, making calls to their state legislators, writing letters to their local newspapers, recruiting new advocates, or supporting university sponsored events, these advocates are making a difference for UWG and in the world around them.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body join in recognizing the University of West Georgia Advocates Program, commending the advocates´ dedication to developing positive relationships with Georgia legislators, and extending their sincerest best wishes to the University of West Georgia for its continued growth and success.
