The resolution recognizes the 50th anniversary of the State Government Affairs Council (SGAC), which was established to enhance the state government affairs profession through community building, knowledge sharing, and promoting diverse perspectives in a nonpartisan environment. SGAC's members, comprising government affairs professionals, have played a crucial role in improving communication between the public and private sectors, advocating for diverse interests, and providing educational opportunities. Their efforts have contributed to a more responsive and accountable state government, while also mentoring the next generation of professionals in the field.

In light of this significant milestone, the resolution commends SGAC for its dedicated service and substantial contributions to fostering relationships among state and local governments, businesses, and communities. It encourages ongoing support for SGAC's mission and acknowledges the tireless work of its members in advocating for sound policy decisions and good governance. The Senate extends its congratulations to SGAC and its members for their enduring influence on the state's government affairs landscape and their commitment to advancing public policy in Rhode Island.
