Bill > SR215

This resolution honors Wendy Zhan for her thirty-year career with the Ohio Legislative Service Commission (LSC), a state agency that provides research and analytical support to the Ohio General Assembly. The resolution highlights Zhan's professional journey, noting that she is a native of China who earned degrees from Beijing University and Ohio University, and began working at LSC in 1995, eventually becoming its tenth director in 2019. Throughout her tenure, she is praised for her exceptional leadership, deep understanding of legislative and budget processes, and significant contributions to public service, including her expertise in school funding and her ability to lead the agency through challenging times like the global pandemic. The resolution specifically commends her as an excellent problem solver, collaborative team player, and inspiring mentor, and notes her previous recognition with the Outstanding State Government Alumnus Award from Ohio University in 2004. The Senate formally salutes Zhan for her unparalleled contributions to the LSC, elected officials, and the public, and wishes her a happy and healthy retirement, with instructions for the Senate Clerk to provide her with an authenticated copy of the resolution.
