Bill > SR598

This resolution, passed by the Senate, congratulates and commends Kathy Colbenson for receiving the 2026 Reverend Robert Ross Johnson Humanitarian of the Year Award. This award, presented annually by the Rotary Club of Buckhead to a non-member who embodies the Rotary motto of "service above self," recognizes individuals for their dedication to helping others. The resolution highlights Colbenson's significant contributions as a non-profit leader in Georgia, particularly her work at CHRIS 180 since 1987, where she developed innovative, trauma-informed programs that have strengthened families and helped troubled youth. Under her leadership for over 36 years, CHRIS 180 expanded its services to include group homes, supportive housing, and a counseling center, growing its budget and positively impacting over 350,000 people. The resolution also acknowledges her reputation for integrity, intelligence, fairness, and kindness, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide her with a copy of this resolution.
