A resolution of tribute for the Honorable Tim Kelly.
Whereas, On the occasion of his retirement from the Michigan House of Representatives, the members deem it a great honor to congratulate Representative Tim Kelly as he completes his tenure with this legislative body. He has been a valuable colleague, dedicated to the Ninety-fourth District and our entire state, and we wish him well; and
Whereas, Tim Kelly received his bachelor's degree in mass communications from the University of Denver. He started out working for his family's emulsified asphalt materials company as production assistant and sales manager. Later, he worked for the Governor of Indiana in the Indiana Department of Commerce, and as executive director of the Indiana Human Resources Investment Council and the Council on Vocational Education. In 1995, he moved to Michigan when Governor Engler asked him to be his education policy advisor. He helped create, organize, and administer the Office of Workforce Development. Tim Kelly's devotion to public service is further exhibited by his tenure on the Saginaw County Board of Commissioners, the Saginaw Area Catholic Schools Board of Trustees, and the St. Mary's Hospital Community Advisory Committee. He also finds time to volunteer as head coach of the Nouvel men's varsity tennis team; and
Whereas, First elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2012, and reelected in 2014 and 2016, Representative Kelly has ably served and contributed in leadership roles as befitting his vast experience in education and economic development. He is a champion for giving Michigan families flexibility in school options and setting appropriate academic standards for students. Over his three terms, he has served on the Commerce, Financial Services, Regulatory Reform, and Tax Policy committees, as well as vice chair of the Oversight Committee and chair of the Education Reform Committee. His service and leadership on the Appropriations Committee has been wide, covering a range of subcommittees: Health and Human Services, Transportation, and as chair of the subcommittee on School Aid and Education; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of gratitude to commend and thank the Honorable Tim Kelly as he concludes his service in the Michigan House of Representatives; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Representative Kelly as evidence of our esteem and best wishes.
