R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On this day, members of Leadership Southwest are 
visiting the Capitol in an effort to gain further insight into the 
workings of state government, and this occasion provides a fitting 
opportunity to recognize these esteemed citizens; and
	WHEREAS, Sponsored by the DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, 
Lancaster, and Oak Cliff chambers of commerce, Leadership Southwest 
prepares its participants for community service by providing them 
with personal leadership skills training and by increasing their 
knowledge of such vital community issues as economic development, 
the justice system and law enforcement, health and human services, 
and transportation; and
	WHEREAS, Approximately 40 men and women from both the private 
and the public sector were chosen to participate in the program this 
year; they represent a cross section of their communities and were 
selected for their shared interest in community service and issues 
affecting communities, their willingness to commit themselves to 
the program's challenging schedule, and their desire for personal 
growth; and
	WHEREAS, To that end, participants attend day-long sessions, 
held monthly from September through May, where they receive 
instruction from prominent community and business leaders on issues 
affecting communities today; and
	WHEREAS, These lessons not only enable participants to become 
more well informed but also to contribute to a bright and promising 
future for the greater Southwest Dallas County area through their 
participation on local boards and commissions following their 
graduation; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the members of Leadership Southwest and 
extend sincere best wishes to them for a memorable and informative 
visit to Austin; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Leadership Southwest as an expression of high regard 
by the Texas House of Representatives.
