Memorials, Retirement - Melinda Poteet Goode -

HJR 550 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Melinda Poteet Goode for her retirement after 41 years of public service with the Northwest Tennessee Development District and Human Resource Agency. It recognizes her role as executive director, her work improving quality of life for over 250,000 residents in rural Northwest Tennessee, and her community leadership. The resolution, passed by both legislative chambers and signed by the Governor, expresses the General Assembly's gratitude but has no binding policy effect. It directly affects only the honoree, Melinda Goode, and serves as a formal tribute to her career.
