Senate Resolution 89 is a congratulatory resolution recognizing Ms. Patria Brown as Georgia’s 2024 state recipient of the Technical College System of Georgia’s Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) award. The resolution highlights that the EAGLE program honors adult learners who have shown exceptional achievement in adult education, and notes that the program has helped raise awareness of adult education opportunities across Georgia for more than three decades.
The resolution states that Ms. Brown was selected from among 25 EAGLE delegates and will serve as an ambassador for adult education in Georgia, representing the roughly 22,000 students served by adult education programs statewide. It emphasizes her academic accomplishments and frames her selection as an honor to her family, the Cobb County School District, and the Technical College System of Georgia.
