She has consistently brought the full measure of her enthusiasm and intelligence to her roles, and she has executed her responsibilities with a degree of precision and discretion that exceeded all expectations; and

WHEREAS, In applauding Wendy Zhan for her steady leadership, we note with pride that it is through the exemplary efforts of such dedicated individuals that the Great State of Ohio remains responsive to its citizens. It is our sincere hope that her sterling example of analytical acumen and collaborative spirit will inspire future generations to devote themselves similarly; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, extend special recognition to Wendy Zhan for her exceptional service to the Ohio Legislative Service Commission and to the State of Ohio and extend best wishes for the future; and be it further
