Bill > HJR677

This resolution commends James Holland for his extensive public service, particularly his 17-year tenure on the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors. The resolution highlights Holland's background as a United States Army veteran who served as a paratrooper and military policeman, and who later became a certified public accountant (CPA) with degrees from Fayetteville State University and North Carolina Central University. During his time on the Board of Supervisors, Holland served multiple terms as board chair and vice chair, and played a key role in significant county achievements, including attracting major investments like the LEGO Group's manufacturing plant and Commonwealth Fusion Systems' power plant. The resolution also recognizes his additional public service roles, including appointments to various state boards and committees related to education, accountancy, and opioid abatement. Holland's community involvement extends to his work with local organizations, his role at First Baptist Church Centralia, and his service as an accounting professor. The resolution formally commends Holland for his contributions to Chesterfield County and the Commonwealth of Virginia, and directs the House of Delegates' Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to Holland as an expression of admiration for his public service.
