	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Dedicated public relations and education
	professionals are gathering in Austin on March 3, 2015, to
	celebrate Texas School Public Relations Association Day at the
	State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas School Public Relations Association was
	founded by 11 Texas delegates who attended the National School
	Public Relations Association's annual convention in 1962; the group
	sought to promote greater understanding between Texas schools and
	citizens, and as membership increased, the TSPRA was incorporated
	in 1977 as the Texas Chapter of the NSPRA; today, the organization
	boasts more than 800 members, many of them public information and
	communications specialists who work with schools and organizations
	across the state; they are ably led by Linsae Snider, who has served
	as executive director since July 2010; and
	WHEREAS, Expanding on the original mission of facilitating
	successful public relations, TSPRA also collaborates with
	like-minded associations and provides many opportunities for
	professional development; looking to the future, the organization
	has presented two major website renovations since 2005, allowing
	for better access to such valuable tools as discussion forums,
	webinars, and workshops, so that its associates may continue to
	best serve Texas schools through further technological
	development; and
	WHEREAS, This award-winning group was first named best NSPRA
	chapter in 1972 and has continued to receive such impressive honors
	as Outstanding Year-Round Project and Distinguished Chapter; TSPRA
	affiliates have also earned recognition by serving on statewide
	committees, and many have presented at state and national
	conferences; additionally, the group has been acknowledged for its
	important annual ventures, including the Celebrate Texas Public
	Schools initiative, the Texas Public Schools Week Promotional Kit,
	and the Key Communicator Award, which is given by the TSPRA to
	someone who has made a substantial impact in the field of public
	school communications; and
	WHEREAS, The members of the Texas School Public Relations
	Association have demonstrated outstanding leadership and
	commitment to Texas public schools and their communities, and in
	doing so they have established a notable record of achievement;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 3, 2015, as Texas School Public
	Relations Association Day at the State Capitol and extend to all
	those in attendance sincere best wishes for an enjoyable visit to
	Austin; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
