WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Jennifer Jones on nearly 30 years of outstanding | ||
service as a member of the Sunset Advisory Commission and on her | ||
recent retirement as executive director; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Sunset Commission was established in 1977 as | ||
a legislative advisory body to address the operations and | ||
efficiency of Texas state agencies; Jennifer Jones has been a | ||
valued member of the commission for nearly three decades and has | ||
been an exemplar of responsibility and integrity in all aspects | ||
of her service; Jennifer's commitment to excellence set a high | ||
standard for producing essential documents to enable the | ||
commission to carry out its objectives; and | ||
WHEREAS, Jennifer's uncompromising work ethic and astute | ||
judgment prompted her appointment as executive director of the | ||
Sunset Advisory Commission, where she hired and managed some 30 | ||
staff members; under her direction, the commission conducted | ||
reviews to evaluate the performance and cost-effectiveness of | ||
state agencies and to ensure that agencies functioned according | ||
to established standards of excellence; and | ||
WHEREAS, During her tenure as executive director, Jennifer | ||
oversaw the research and review staff that prepared reports, and | ||
she supported the Sunset Advisory Commission in its | ||
determinations with respect to state agencies; she will continue | ||
to work for all Texans in her new role at the Texas General Land | ||
Office, where she will serve as senior advisor to the | ||
commissioner and as deputy director of government relations; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Jennifer Jones on her distinguished | ||
tenure of service with the Sunset Advisory Commission and extend | ||
to her best wishes for success in all of her future endeavors; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
