Impact

By acknowledging the selfless contributions of individuals like Carolyn Flagg, SJR1295 not only honors her personally but also serves to motivate and inspire others in the state to engage in community service. This public recognition amplifies the value placed on volunteer efforts, potentially encouraging more citizens to participate in community initiatives. While SJR1295 itself does not create new laws, it reinforces existing values about community involvement and civic duty within Tennessee's legislative framework.

Summary

Senate Joint Resolution 1295 (SJR1295) recognizes Carolyn Flagg for her exemplary service to the community and honors her with the Governor's Volunteer Stars Award. This resolution highlights the importance of volunteerism in Tennessee, where approximately 1.3 million volunteers contribute over 99 million hours of service annually, translating to a significant economic impact of $2.6 billion. The resolution emphasizes the critical role that volunteers play in addressing unmet community needs and fostering the spirit of giving.

Contention

There appear to be no significant points of contention associated with SJR1295 as it is a resolution that honors an individual rather than a legislative measure that aims to change laws or regulations. As such, it reflects a consensus on the importance of community service and the recognition of those who lead by example through their volunteer activities. The lack of opposition or controversial aspects suggests that the resolution was likely well-received across party lines.
