Bill > HJR545

This concurrent resolution commends Lara Shearin Overy, a public servant who recently retired as the commissioner of the revenue for the City of Williamsburg in 2024. A lifelong Virginia Peninsula resident and William & Mary alumna, Overy has an extensive background in management and finance, having previously worked in development roles at community colleges, served as chief operating officer for a wealth strategies firm, and been elected commissioner of the revenue in 2017. Beyond her professional work, she has been actively involved in community service, serving on multiple nonprofit boards including the Virginia Symphony Society, Girl Scout Council, and Greater Williamsburg Chamber and Tourism Alliance. The resolution highlights her commitment to responsibly overseeing tax collection, effectively administering city services, and contributing to Williamsburg's success. As a formal recognition of her service, the Virginia General Assembly is commending her and instructing the House of Delegates' Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to present to Overy as an expression of appreciation for her exemplary career and public service.
