The resolution further describes Greenberg’s broader record of public and community service, including his career as a Senior Manager for the Internal Revenue Service, his receipt of the Albert Gallatin Award for Career Meritorious Service, and his volunteer work as an AARP Tax Aide, leadership instructor, and statistician for the Empire Games for the Physically Challenged. The resolution is purely ceremonial and does not create, amend, or repeal any state law or affect statutory rights or obligations.

Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is wholly positive and celebratory. The text emphasizes gratitude, respect, and admiration for Harvey Greenberg’s leadership, faith community service, professional accomplishments, and volunteerism.
