H.R. No. 130 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Mission are visiting the State | ||
Capitol during the 86th Legislative Session to gain greater insight | ||
into the workings of state government; and | ||
WHEREAS, This exceptional program provides opportunities for | ||
participants to increase their knowledge of vital public issues and | ||
to visit with the leaders who are making decisions that affect their | ||
community; and | ||
WHEREAS, Meeting regularly over the course of a nine-month | ||
period, participants further develop their skills and enhance their | ||
knowledge of important public issues as they study topics ranging | ||
from the history of Mission to city and county government, the | ||
police and fire departments, health care, education, the media, | ||
federal agencies, and economic development; in addition, | ||
participants take a maquila tour; and | ||
WHEREAS, Classes inspire a spirit of activism and provide | ||
opportunities for leadership training, networking, community | ||
service, and instruction from influential figures from both the | ||
public and the private sectors; each annual Leadership group also | ||
completes a project of benefit to the community; in recent years, | ||
these projects have included donations to the Mission Historical | ||
Museum, the Speer Memorial Library, the Boys & Girls Club of | ||
Mission, and The University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley, as well as | ||
contributions to the Christmas Bikes initiative; and | ||
WHEREAS, Leadership Mission awards scholarships each session | ||
to members who are in college and who successfully complete the LM | ||
program; to raise funds for these scholarships, class projects, and | ||
the annual legislative trip, members participate in fund-raisers | ||
such as the popular Leadership Mission Golf Tournament and Turkey | ||
Bowl Tournament; Leadership Mission also gives back to the | ||
community by volunteering for the Back to School shopping event, | ||
National Night Out, the Mission Pink Breast Cancer Walk/Run, the | ||
Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, the Mission Community | ||
Health and Wellness Fair, and the City of Mission Trash Bash; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through fostering a more informed and involved | ||
citizenry and developing new leaders, Leadership Mission is helping | ||
create a brighter and more promising future for the Lone Star State; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor the members of Leadership Mission for | ||
their community support and extend to all program participants | ||
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
