SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 123

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to join the citizens of Beaumont, Port Arthur, Orange, and the surrounding communities in celebrating March 9, 2021, as the first Virtual Golden Triangle Legislative Day; and

WHEREAS, Golden Triangle Day in Austin was established in 2007 as a means for civic leaders from the Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange chambers of commerce to combine their advocacy efforts during sessions of the Texas Legislature; the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have led organizers of the event to adopt a virtual format; and

WHEREAS, Virtual Golden Triangle Legislative Day provides an opportunity for citizens to build business relationships with others throughout Southeast Texas and with state officials and agency directors; representatives from across the region are participating in this important event; and

WHEREAS, The chambers of commerce are truly deserving of special recognition for their efforts to organize this event for the benefit of Southeast Texas families and businesses; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th Legislature, hereby extend best wishes for a successful and rewarding event to all those participating in the first Virtual Golden Triangle Legislative Day; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in honor of this special occasion.

Creighton, Nichols
