Women in Texas Government award; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, Mrs. Brown has enjoyed the | ||
love and support of her husband of 42 years, Robert Brown, with whom | ||
she shared in the joy of raising a daughter, Julianne, and later in | ||
welcoming a son-in-law, Mark King; a doting grandmother to Grayson | ||
and Sutton King, she also is a caring and supportive daughter to her | ||
own mother, Maxine Carrick; and | ||
WHEREAS, Joanne Brown's professionalism and commitment to | ||
excellence have greatly benefited her colleagues and fellow Texans, | ||
and she may indeed take pride in a career well spent as she embarks | ||
on the next exciting chapter of her life; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Joanne Brown | ||
on her retirement from the Texas Workforce Commission and extend to | ||
her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mrs. Brown as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
