WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce | ||
and its PATHS Forward leadership development program; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of | ||
Commerce was formed in 1979 with the goal of making Fort Worth a | ||
better place to work and raise a family; an independent, | ||
nonprofit organization, its activities are guided by a | ||
volunteer-elected board of directors and officers; and | ||
WHEREAS, The chamber's mission is to promote, assist, and | ||
enhance economic and business development for its members and | ||
create wealth in the community it serves; one of its many | ||
successful programs is the nine-month leadership development | ||
program PATHS Forward; and | ||
WHEREAS, PATHS Forward is designed to prepare promising | ||
African American professionals who are 21 to 40 years of age to | ||
participate as leaders in the greater Fort Worth metropolitan | ||
area; its third program will begin on April 30, 2011, with 14 | ||
participants; and | ||
WHEREAS, Throughout the year, members of the program will | ||
meet once a month, and during the months of August, September, | ||
and October, they will work with local nonprofit organizations to | ||
create and deliver community service projects; and | ||
WHEREAS, The program participants will develop an | ||
appreciation for their own personal strengths, talents, and | ||
weaknesses while honing their leadership and speaking skills; | ||
their expanded understanding of the Fort Worth and Tarrant County | ||
metropolitan area will create new opportunities for them to | ||
achieve professional and personal success; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black | ||
Chamber of Commerce and the participants in the PATHS Forward | ||
program for their leadership, their service, and their many | ||
contributions to Fort Worth and the greater Tarrant County area | ||
and extend to all best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as an | ||
expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
