H.R. No. 283 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Mission are visiting the State | ||
Capitol on February 7, 2011, 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, and | ||
federal agencies, in addition to taking a maquila tour; and | ||
WHEREAS, Classes inspire a spirit of activism and provide a | ||
diverse membership with personal leadership training, networking | ||
opportunities, and instruction from influential figures from both | ||
the public and 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 Mission Speer Memorial Library, the Mission Boys and | ||
Girls Club, and The University of Texas-Pan American; 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 such worthwhile | ||
events as the Texas Citrus Fiesta, the City Tree Lighting Ceremony, | ||
and a benefit raffle; they also sponsor the popular Leadership | ||
Mission Golf Classic; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through fostering a more informed and involved | ||
citizenry and developing new leaders, Leadership Mission is helping | ||
to create a brighter and more promising future for the Lone Star | ||
State; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby welcome members of Leadership Mission to the | ||
State Capitol and extend to all 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. | ||
