	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A number of engaged citizens are working to build an
	even brighter future for the North Texas community through their
	participation in the 2017 Leadership Dallas Class; and
	WHEREAS, Created in 1975 as a program of the Dallas Regional
	Chamber, Leadership Dallas serves to develop the potential of
	future leaders, identifying young businesspeople and entrepreneurs
	of diverse backgrounds and bringing them together with current
	leaders to explore issues critical to the community; and
	WHEREAS, Since its founding, this outstanding program has
	trained hundreds of participants in civic leadership; many of those
	individuals have gone on to serve as members of community, city, and
	county boards and commissions; in addition, the Leadership Dallas
	Alumni Association carries on the work of the program itself,
	offering opportunities for graduates to maintain strong
	relationships with one another and providing educational programs
	to help keep them abreast of issues facing the area; and
	WHEREAS, By working to complete the Leadership Dallas
	curriculum, the members of the Class of 2017 have demonstrated an
	admirable commitment to making a positive difference in the world
	around them, and they are indeed deserving of special recognition;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the Leadership
	Dallas Class of 2017 on their participation in this worthwhile
	program and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and,
	be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the class as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
