	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 784
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Sharon Pierce, who is retiring on June 1, 2017, after 36
	years of outstanding service as state advisor for the Texas
	Association of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America; and
	WHEREAS, Over the course of her distinguished career in the
	field of education, Sharon Pierce served as a classroom teacher for
	42 years and was a staff member for the Texas Education Agency; and
	WHEREAS, Under her exemplary leadership, the Texas
	Association of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America has
	successfully navigated the challenging transition from the
	traditional home economics model of the Future Homemakers of
	America to a more comprehensive family and consumer sciences model;
	she was able to uphold the organization's proud history while
	making it more relevant in today's rapidly changing society; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Pierce established industry advisory groups to
	ensure the organization's career and leadership development
	initiatives continue to be effective, and she cultivated the
	partnerships that resulted in the creation of a post-secondary
	educational scholarship program that today awards $1.9 million each
	year to graduating seniors; she has received prestigious awards from
	the organization for her exceptional service and leadership; and
	WHEREAS, An exemplary educator and administrator, she is
	respected and admired by her colleagues, and her presence as a state
	advisor with the Texas Association of Family, Career and Community
	Leaders of America will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, hereby commend Sharon Pierce on her invaluable
	contributions to the Texas Association of Family, Career and
	Community Leaders of America and to our state and extend to her best
	wishes for continued success in all her 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.

	Campbell
