	celebration of Black Business Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, Officially established in 1988, the TAAACC can trace

	representing more than 10,000 members and serving as the voice for
	over 200,000 businesses; and
	WHEREAS, The association educates members about laws and
	regulations that could impact businesses, and it works within the
	legislative process to ensure equal opportunities for African
	American enterprises; moreover, it coordinates with leaders in
	government and the corporate world to promote diversity and
	inclusiveness, and it supports policies that expand access to
	achieving economic prosperity; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Association of African American Chambers
	of Commerce is an effective advocate for its members, and its
	notable endeavors have helped to improve business conditions and
	strengthen the economic base in communities across the state; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 31, 2017, as Texas Association
