Memorials, Recognition - Shane McCarrell, 2024 International Auctioneer Champion -

SJR 51 is a ceremonial joint resolution honoring Shane McCarrell, a Clarksville auctioneer who won the 2024 International Auctioneer Championship. The resolution recognizes his championship victory (competing against 78 global finalists in Pittsburgh), his 12+ years of military service, his leadership in the Tennessee Auctioneers Association, and his role as co-owner and education director of the Nashville Auction School. It does not create new laws or affect any policies; it is purely a symbolic gesture of state recognition. The resolution was signed by the Governor on March 4, 2025, following approval by both legislative chambers.
