2025 Regular Session Introduced by Shelley Mayer and 1 co-sponsor

Ceremonial resolution honoring the Strum family (Adam, Sybil, Erika, Jacqueline) for their leadership, recognizing their award from UJA Westchester at its Spring Dinner.

ADOPTED

1) Purpose and Intent

J 618 is a ceremonial resolution intended to publicly recognize and honor Adam, Sybil, Erika, and Jacqueline Strum of Wine Enthusiast Companies.

The recognition is in relation to their special acknowledgment by UJA Westchester at its Business and Professional Division Annual Spring Dinner.

The measure serves as an official tribute to the Strum family for their contributions to business and/or community leadership as part of their recognition by a prominent local organization.

2) Key Provisions

The resolution would formally acknowledge the Strum family by name and commemorate their recognition by UJA Westchester.

It typically would include “whereas” statements describing the significance of their achievements and involvement, followed by a “be it resolved” clause that approves the formal recognition by the adopting body.

Administrative provisions common to ceremonial resolutions may include directives to transmit enrolled copies to the honorees, family members, or relevant organizations, and to publish or print the resolution as appropriate.

3) Who/What Would Be Affected

Individuals: Adam Strum, Sybil Strum, Erika Strum, and Jacqueline Strum (of Wine Enthusiast Companies) would receive formal recognition.
