2019, after 15 years of exceptional service as state director of | ||

as a recognized expert in the fields of elder law and | ||
guardianship matters; and | ||
WHEREAS, Under his leadership, AARP Texas has assembled a | ||
strong corps of volunteers and a staff that reflects the | ||
increasing diversity of our state; it has grown to include more | ||
than 2.3 million members, age 50 and above, in Texas, and its | ||
influence at the Capitol has made Texas a leader in protecting | ||
older citizens from abuse and exploitation; and | ||
WHEREAS, Bob has provided testimony before the United | ||
States Congress on matters regarding guardianship reform, elder | ||
abuse, and financial exploitation; and | ||
WHEREAS, An exemplary attorney and administrator, he is | ||
respected and admired by his colleagues, and his presence as | ||
director of AARP Texas will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Robert A. "Bob" Jackson on his | ||
outstanding service as director of AARP Texas and extend to him | ||
best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors; and, be | ||
