| H.C.R. No. 38 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce has | ||
| been awarded five-star accreditation by the United States Chamber | ||
| of Commerce; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Across the country, just three percent of chambers | ||
| are accredited, and only the top one percent have attained the | ||
| prestigious five-star rating; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In order to achieve accreditation, a chamber must | ||
| meet minimum standards in its operations and programs, including | ||
| governance, government affairs, and technology; the five-star | ||
| rating reflects a chamber's ability to meet additional criteria, | ||
| including accountability, financial transparency, employee | ||
| involvement, political advocacy, and community engagement; | ||
| moreover, it recognizes that a chamber is working diligently to | ||
| advance pro-growth policies at the local, state, and federal | ||
| levels; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For 35 consecutive years, the Lufkin/Angelina | ||
| County Chamber of Commerce has held accreditation, an | ||
| acknowledgment of its high-quality programs, sound organizational | ||
| practices, and commitment to effecting positive change; only a | ||
| handful of the country's 7,000 chambers can claim such a long | ||
| history of accreditation; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The five-star accreditation accorded the | ||
| Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce is a reflection of its | ||
| standing as one of the top chambers in the nation, and it is indeed | ||
| fitting to honor this noteworthy organization for its | ||
| accomplishments; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 84th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby congratulate the Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce | ||
| on its receipt of five-star accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of | ||
| Commerce and extend to its staff and members sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success in their important work; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
