James Spaulding Ceremonial Recognition Resolution of 2025
This ceremonial resolution honors James Spaulding for his 23 years of service in the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), recognizing his work on budgets, capital improvements, and public service before his 2023 retirement. It formally commends his contributions to the District government and his embodiment of the OCFO's "SMARTER" values (Service Driven, Motivated, Accountable, Respectful, Trustworthy, Empowered, Results Oriented). As a ceremonial resolution, it has no policy impact - it solely provides symbolic recognition without creating new laws or obligations.
