WHEREAS, Founded in 1976, the Texas Alliance for Minorities
in Engineering, or TAME, is a nonprofit organization focused on
strengthening minority participation in engineering, science,

National Society of Black Engineers; after graduating, he plans to
attend Texas A&M University to earn a degree in chemical
engineering; and
WHEREAS, This impressive young man has won great distinction
for himself and his school, and the dedication and skill that he has
demonstrated are certain to be of considerable benefit as he looks
forward to the opportunities that lie ahead; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Izayah Allen on his exceptional
performance at the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering
