House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Taylor, commends the nonprofit organization SIAMS (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.

The resolution also notes the upcoming Annual SIAMS Retreat and Advancing Ceremony, which will feature a cohort of ten young women from the New Orleans area. The first day of the retreat is dedicated to civic engagement, where participants will visit the state capitol to attend committee meetings, meet with legislators, and engage with civic leaders, thereby learning about the importance of public service and government. The House of Representatives expresses its appreciation for SIAMS and the inspiring civic-mindedness of the young women it serves.
