Impact

The resolution highlights the success of the GWIAA in activating 30 beginning farm producers across 18 counties in Georgia by securing funding through the USDA NIFA Funded Beginning Farmers Grant Program. Hence, HR1465 serves not just as a formal recognition but also as an affirmation of the positive impacts that the GWIAA has on fostering agricultural opportunities for women and children, contributing to community development and economic growth in the agricultural sector.

Summary

House Resolution 1465 commends the Georgia Chapter of the National Women in Agriculture Association (NWIAA) on the occasion of its seventh annual GWIAA Day at the state capitol. This resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of the GWIAA in advocating for the welfare of women and children in agriculture. Established in 2008, the NWIAA has become the largest women-owned and women-led agricultural organization in the country, with a dedicated focus on securing congressional funding for its initiatives.

Contention

While there appears to be no notable points of contention surrounding HR1465, its introduction in the legislature showcases the ongoing efforts to support representation and inclusion within the field of agriculture. The focus of the resolution is largely on acknowledgment, and any debates typically associated with budgetary or agricultural policy implications are not central to the text of this resolution.
