House Resolution No. 433.
A resolution honoring Maryann Mahaffey for her 28 outstanding years in public service.
Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Maryann Mahaffey has put forth on behalf of the people of Detroit that we offer this expression of recognition along with our thanks for her dedication and commitment as a long-standing member and President of the Detroit City Council. As the people of Detroit recognize the loyalty and devotion to public service of this conscientious individual, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well-done; and
Whereas, In 28 years of service to the people of Detroit, Maryann Mahaffey has been working in the public arena during an era of great change. As Maryann well knows, financial pressures and changing expectations have combined to make the recent past a challenging time to work in local government. With the personal sense of duty that Maryann Mahaffey brings to work each day, she has been able to meet these challenges with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in efficiency in public service. This has been deeply appreciated, both by citizens and organizations in Detroit that have benefited directly from Maryann's work as well as other public servants who have witnessed this fine example; and
Whereas, Maryann Mahaffey's accomplishments are many. She is a public servant, professor, consultant, program coordinator, organizer, supervisor, chairperson, and author. These are just a few of the hats that Maryann has worn and a lot of them were worn at the same time; and
Whereas, There can be little doubt that the record that Ms. Mahaffey has compiled over the past 28 years as a member and President of the Detroit City Council, will continue to reap rewards for the people of Detroit; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Maryann Mahaffey for her 28 outstanding years in public service. May she continue to serve the people of Detroit and their best interest; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Maryann Mahaffey as a token of our esteem.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.
