House Resolution No. by Representative Taylor commends the nonprofit organization SIAMS, which stands for "Surely, I Am My Sister," for its dedication to uplifting and empowering women through various initiatives focused on education, business, and leadership development. The resolution highlights the SIAMS Bridges to Brilliance mentorship program, which supports young women aged seventeen to twenty-five as they transition from high school to college and career pathways. This year, the organization is hosting its Annual SIAMS Retreat and Advancing Ceremony, featuring a cohort of ten exceptional young women from the New Orleans area.

The resolution also emphasizes the importance of civic engagement, noting that the first day of the retreat is dedicated to this theme. The young women will visit the state capitol to attend committee meetings, meet with legislators, and engage with civic leaders, thereby gaining firsthand experience in public service and government structure. The House of Representatives expresses its appreciation for SIAMS and the inspiring civic-mindedness of the young women it serves, recognizing their contributions to the community and the state of Louisiana.
