Bill > HCR037

This concurrent resolution congratulates Meara Seery of Brattleboro, Vermont, on being named Miss Vermont 2024, highlighting her significant achievements and community service. The resolution notes that Seery graduated debt-free from George Washington University with a photojournalism degree, worked as a digital producer for Senator Bernie Sanders, and has been admitted to graduate school at Champlain College. After two previous attempts at the Miss Vermont pageant, she won the title on April 14, 2024, at the Spruce Performing Arts Center in Stowe, receiving two scholarships totaling $12,500. Her Community Service Initiative, "Green for Good," focused on sustainability and notably partnered with Green Up Vermont to set a Guinness World Record for the most volunteer pledges to clean up trash in one day. Although she did not become a finalist at the national Miss America contest, the resolution celebrates her persistent efforts and accomplishments. The resolution formally congratulates Seery and directs the Secretary of State to send her a copy of the resolution, formally recognizing her achievements at the state legislative level.
