Bill > SCR34

This concurrent resolution commends Peggy Feehan, the Executive Director of CODOFIL (Council for the Development of French in Louisiana), for receiving the Order of Academic Palms, a prestigious French civil honor originally established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1808 to recognize distinguished contributions to education, science, and culture. The resolution highlights Feehan's career-long dedication to advancing French language education, preserving Francophone heritage, and promoting cultural exchange in Louisiana and internationally. Under her leadership, CODOFIL has strengthened relationships with global Francophone institutions and expanded opportunities for Louisiana students and educators to engage with the Francophone world. The resolution emphasizes that receiving this honor is rare for individuals outside of France, and it celebrates Feehan's significant contributions to Louisiana's international profile as a center of Francophone identity and learning. The Legislature of Louisiana formally recognizes her exemplary service, leadership, and lifelong commitment to French language education, and resolves to support and celebrate her continued efforts both within the state and beyond.
