By: Flores, et al. | S.R. No. 33 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Texas State Parks was recognized with the National | ||
Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management | ||
by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration on | ||
October 11, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since 1965, the Gold Medal Awards program has | ||
honored park and recreation agencies across the United States that | ||
demonstrate excellence in their work; organizations are judged on | ||
their ability to address the needs of the public they serve and on | ||
the basis of such criteria as long-range planning, resource | ||
management, environmental stewardship, and program development; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, This coveted recognition is made all the more | ||
meaningful by the fact that it coincides with the 100th anniversary | ||
of the Texas State Parks system; the agency has excelled at | ||
preserving the natural beauty of the state parks, which are visited | ||
by more than nine million people annually, as well as through its | ||
efforts to increase accessibility and to invite new audiences to | ||
enjoy the parks; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas' state parks system is a source of immense | ||
pride to the residents of the Lone Star State, and the outstanding | ||
reputation that it enjoys is further strengthened by its receipt of | ||
this prestigious national honor; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature, 3rd | ||
Called Session, hereby congratulate Texas State Parks on its | ||
receipt of the 2023 National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park | ||
and Recreation Management from the American Academy for Park and | ||
Recreation Administration and commend all those affiliated with | ||
Texas State Parks for their contributions; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Texas State Parks as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas Senate. |
