WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the North Texas Commission, which is celebrating 50 | ||
years of civic advocacy, education, and collaboration in the | ||
Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex; and | ||
WHEREAS, Established in 1971, the North Texas Commission | ||
was chartered as a nonprofit corporation to help develop and | ||
market the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and the | ||
greater North Texas region; and | ||
WHEREAS, Members of the commission copyrighted the term | ||
"Metroplex" as a regional marketing moniker in 1972, and they | ||
continued to represent the interests of the region after the | ||
airport opened in 1974; over the years, the commission has played | ||
an integral role in vital regional developments in such areas as | ||
public transportation, air quality, and water resources; in | ||
2009, the organization launched Leadership North Texas, which | ||
has brought together the talents of emerging regional leaders who | ||
have gone on to become esteemed regional advocates; and | ||
WHEREAS, Today, the North Texas Commission helps address | ||
the region's greatest challenges through the work of experts | ||
serving in both staff and board roles; these dedicated | ||
professionals provide resources to help market the region and | ||
create a unified plan for advocacy at the state and federal | ||
levels; all who contribute to the success of the North Texas | ||
Commission can reflect with pride on the organization's | ||
exemplary service in the Metroplex; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby recognize the members, | ||
staff, and partners of the North Texas Commission for their | ||
commitment to service to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and for | ||
helping to ensure that North Texas remains an excellent place in | ||
which to live and do business; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the commission as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
