Roberta Swann, retirement, commended

HJR 71 is a ceremonial resolution commending Roberta Swann for her retirement as Director of the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program after over 20 years of service. It recognizes her leadership in securing over $100 million in funding for coastal restoration projects and developing watershed management plans across Mobile and Baldwin Counties.
