H.R. No. 154 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Building Owners and Managers | ||
Association are celebrating Texas BOMA Virtual Advocacy Day on | ||
February 24, 2021; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 1937 as the state federated | ||
organization of BOMA International, Texas BOMA represents the | ||
interests of stakeholders in the commercial real estate business; | ||
it is composed of more than 2,500 members statewide and six | ||
federated associations in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort | ||
Worth, Houston, and San Antonio; its members support over 100,000 | ||
jobs and add billions of dollars to the state's economy; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas BOMA is aligned with its parent organization | ||
and local affiliates in working to reduce the environmental impact | ||
of development by advancing energy efficiency and sustainability | ||
initiatives; since 2007, BOMA International has been honored by the | ||
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy | ||
with 13 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Partner of the Year | ||
Awards; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected our | ||
state and its business community, and the commercial real estate | ||
sector has played a vital role in reopening and recovery efforts; | ||
building owners and managers have dedicated themselves to | ||
maintaining operations and ensuring the continuation of services, | ||
and businesses and employers have relied on these essential workers | ||
to provide the safe, secure, and healthy environments necessary to | ||
bring Texans back to work and revitalize the economy of the Lone | ||
Star State; and | ||
WHEREAS, For more than eight decades, Texas BOMA has served | ||
as a voice for those who work in the commercial real estate industry | ||
while helping to promote responsible building practices, and this | ||
legislative day provides a fitting opportunity to honor the | ||
organization and its members; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize the Texas Building Owners and Managers | ||
Association on the occasion of its 2021 Virtual Advocacy Day; 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. | ||
