| WHEREAS, Dr. Pamela Anglin is concluding her exemplary | ||
| 20-year tenure as president of Paris Junior College at the end of | ||
| 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The first female president of the college, Pam | ||
| Anglin was appointed in 2003, when PJC had but a two-month | ||
| operating reserve; while guiding the institution to financial | ||
| stability, she has overseen its development as a national leader | ||
| in an important transition by community colleges, away from | ||
| open-door access and towards promotion of degree and certificate | ||
| attainment; her efforts led to the school's selection for several | ||
| national programs, including the Pathways Project, Achieving the | ||
| Dream, and a student-success initiative of the Institute for | ||
| Evidence-Based Change; PJC was named an Achieving the Dream | ||
| Leader College, and it received the 2012 Excellence in Education | ||
| Award from the Texas Association of Business; moreover, it has | ||
| been twice recognized as one of the country's 50 fastest-growing | ||
| community colleges; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Dr. Anglin has been a strong advocate for | ||
| outcomes-based funding at the state level, and she helped form | ||
| the Texas Community Colleges Consortium for Shared Resources to | ||
| pursue cost savings in new enterprise resource planning software | ||
| and annual allocations from the state legislature; among | ||
| numerous leadership roles, she chaired the Northeast Texas | ||
| Consortium of Colleges and Universities and served two terms each | ||
| on the boards of the American Association of Community Colleges | ||
| and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission | ||
| on Colleges; she has further benefited her fellow citizens as a | ||
| member of the Northeast Texas Workforce Board; the recipient of | ||
| the Teamwork Award 2014 from Workforce Solutions Northeast | ||
| Texas, she has been inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa CEO Hall of | ||
| Honor and the PTK Texas Region Hall of Honor, and her many | ||
| accolades include the organization's Shirley B. Gordon Award of | ||
| Distinction; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through her outstanding accomplishments, Pam | ||
| Anglin has advanced the vital mission of Paris Junior College and | ||
| made a positive impact at the state and national level, and she | ||
| may indeed reflect with pride on her many contributions; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor Dr. Pamela Anglin | ||
| for her service as president of Paris Junior College and extend to | ||
| her sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for Dr. Anglin as an expression of high regard from the | ||
