Bill > SJR114

This resolution commends the Reverend Dr. Roberta Young-Jackson for her installation as the pastor of First Union Baptist Church of Richmond in 2025, making her the first female pastor in the church's 150-year history. The resolution highlights her academic achievements, including degrees in divinity and Christian education, her distinguished 27-year career in the United States Army Reserve, where she served in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and reached the rank of lieutenant colonel, and her 22 years of service at the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, retiring as an information technology project manager. It also acknowledges her licensing and ordination to preach the Gospel and expresses the General Assembly's admiration for her contributions to the Commonwealth and best wishes for her success in her new pastoral role.
