	WHEREAS, Elizabeth Chu Richter has been inducted into the
	Corpus Christi Business Hall of Fame by Junior Achievement of South
	Texas; and
	WHEREAS, A worldwide, nonprofit organization, Junior
	Achievement is committed to educating young people about free
	enterprise and entrepreneurship and fostering financial literacy;
	the organization's Corpus Christi Business Hall of Fame recognizes
	local individuals who have achieved excellence in their field and
	who have demonstrated vision and innovation, inspiring leadership,
	and community mindedness; and
	WHEREAS, Elizabeth Chu Richter is the CEO of Richter
	Architects, an award-winning architectural design and planning
	firm that she co-owns with her husband, David Richter; she is
	particularly noted for the inventive community-focused and
	family-focused design vision that she brings to many civic and
	public building projects; among her commissions is the Brooks
	County Safety Rest Area, which earned one of 13 Honor Awards for
	architecture from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in
	1999; the rest stop shared that distinction with an art museum in
	Helsinki, Finland, and the headquarters of the World Bank, in
	Washington, D.C.; she has also joined with her husband in creating a
	series of two-minute radio spots called "The Shape of Texas," which
	has served to increase public awareness and understanding of
	architecture and its possibilities; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Nanjing, China, Ms. Richter attended schools
	in Hong Kong before moving to Dallas with her family at the age of
	13; she graduated from The University of Texas with a bachelor's
	degree in architecture in 1974; after college, she balanced raising
	her three children with working part-time as an architect until
	1989, when she joined Richter Architects full-time; certified as a
	green builder through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
	Design program with the U.S. Green Building Council, she is the
	recipient of a 2001 Young Architect Award from the AIA, and in 2005
	she was elected to the AIA College of Fellows, one of the highest
	honors that the organization can bestow on a member; and
	WHEREAS, Elizabeth Chu Richter has made an impressive
	contribution to the built environment of South Texas, and through
	her work she has touched the lives of many fellow citizens; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Elizabeth Chu
	Richter on her induction into the Corpus Christi Business Hall of
	Fame and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success;
	and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Ms. Richter as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
