	H.C.R. No. 132



	HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

	WHEREAS, Members of the Texas State Association of
	Parliamentarians are gathering in Houston May 20-22, 2011, to
	participate in their annual convention, and this occasion provides
	an ideal opportunity to recognize this outstanding organization;
	and
	WHEREAS, Established in 1955, the TSAP is a constituent
	division of the National Association of Parliamentarians; the
	national organization was founded in 1930 and ranks as the oldest
	and largest professional nonprofit association of parliamentarians
	in the world; its primary objectives are teaching, promoting, and
	disseminating the philosophy and principles underlying the rules of
	deliberative assemblies; and
	WHEREAS, Members of the TSAP benefit from a supportive
	environment in which their fellow members share their expertise and
	years of experience; a solid knowledge of parliamentary law is
	essential to assemblies of all sizes, from the United States
	Congress and state legislatures to school boards, corporate boards,
	churches, clubs, and professional organizations; and
	WHEREAS, Parliamentary procedure enables deliberative bodies
	to transact the business of their meetings in an orderly,
	productive, and democratic fashion, and parliamentarians play a
	vital role in furthering a structure that facilitates fair and
	efficient decision making; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby recognize the Texas State Association of Parliamentarians on
	the occasion of its 2011 convention and extend to all those
	participating sincere best wishes for a productive event; and, be
	it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the association as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives and Senate.

	J. Davis of Harris
