The House concurrent resolution R-46 congratulates Meara Seery from Brattleboro for being named Miss Vermont 2024. The resolution highlights that the Miss Vermont contest is more than a beauty pageant; it serves as a platform for scholarship opportunities and showcases the talents of contestants statewide. Meara Seery, a photojournalism graduate from George Washington University, has demonstrated her commitment to community service and sustainability through her initiative "Green for Good," which achieved a Guinness World Record for volunteer pledges to clean up trash in one day.

Meara's journey to the Miss Vermont title included multiple attempts, with notable achievements such as being named Miss Southern Vermont and earning scholarships throughout her pageant experiences. Her recent victory on April 14, 2024, at the Spruce Performing Arts Center in Stowe, not only recognized her talent but also awarded her significant scholarships for further education. Although she did not become a finalist at the Miss America contest, her participation in the event was a valuable experience. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Meara Seery.
