Mr. Speaker, in honor of Women's History Month, I rise today to recognize Brynn Grant who recently was named Woman of the Year for Georgia by ``USA Today.'' As a child, Brynn watched her father being sworn into a State- appointed position by the late President Jimmy Carter, who was then Governor of Georgia. Brynn's career spans more than two decades at the Savannah Economic Development Authority, where she rose to the position of chief operating officer and vice president of the World Trade Center Savannah. She also served as president and CEO of the United Way of the Coastal Empire, guiding the organization through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the chief executive officer of the Liberty County Development Authority, Brynn highlights the link between social and economic issues, advocating for holistic community development. Brynn advocates for collaborative services, embodying the belief that real progress is achieved only when everyone benefits. Brynn Grant's unwavering dedication and visionary leadership have deeply influenced the Coastal Georgia community, establishing a standard of excellence and compassion. Congratulations to Brynn Grant. We are so proud of her. ____________________
