This resolution commends Betty Adams, Ed.D., the executive director of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC), upon her retirement in 2025. The resolution highlights her extensive career in education, including her academic achievements and prior experience in retail and higher education, before she took leadership of the SVHEC in 2009. During her 16-year tenure, Dr. Adams was instrumental in advancing the economic potential of Southern Virginia by overseeing college degree and workforce training programs for over 1,400 students annually, establishing new training programs, rebranding the advanced manufacturing center ProductWorks, and expanding learning spaces. The resolution also acknowledges her community involvement in Halifax County and expresses the General Assembly's admiration for her contributions to the Commonwealth, with the Clerk of the Senate tasked with preparing a copy of the resolution for her presentation.
