AN ACT
Relating to the designation of Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day in Missouri.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Whereas, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation operates the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day to help our nation's daughters and sons reach their full potential in school, family life, the community, and their future work lives; and
Whereas, Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is making a positive difference in the lives of adults and our youth; and
Whereas, for sixteen years the program has designed and promoted activities that encourage girls and boys to think about how their dreams for the future - both for their work and family lives - can be realized; and
Whereas, through this educational experience, girls and boys begin to see the connection between studied subjects like math, English, and science and how they are applied to the "real" world. As a result, girls and boys are given the opportunity to explore the workplace and apply the experience to their everyday studies; and
Whereas, girls and boys want and expect a future in which they are able to involve themselves. The program provides a forum for girls and boys to share their ideas about the workplace of the future with the companies that will someday employ them; and
Whereas, the program exposes girls and boys to a wealth of job possibilities and future opportunities, it also maintains its commitment to ensure that all our nation's daughters and sons have a chance to participate in the program. They will see the faces of engineers, doctors, professors, and executives and they will realize that they could be of any gender, race, or background; and
Whereas, this program has created another public education campaign that amplifies the voices of girls and boys, shares the vision of our nation's daughters and sons for a better future, and works through the program to help girls and boys make their vision of today their reality of tomorrow:
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-fifth General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, hereby designates the fourth Thursday of April each year as "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" in Missouri; and
Be it further resolved that the General Assembly encourages and recommends that the people of the State of Missouri observe "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" through activities which will increase awareness of making a positive difference in the lives of adults and our youth; and
Be it further resolved that this resolution be sent to the Governor for his approval or rejection pursuant to the Missouri Constitution.
