H.R. No. 508
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Women's Alliance (TWA) are
gathering at the State Capitol on February 24, 2005, and their visit
presents an ideal occasion to recognize this noteworthy
organization; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1984 by U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
and Ambassador Anne Armstrong, this statewide nonpartisan,
nonprofit corporation offers its members the opportunity to
articulate an independent conservative viewpoint and work together
to make a difference in state affairs; and
WHEREAS, Dedicated to the principle that women can make a
positive impact in all levels of business and government, TWA
members have addressed numerous important issues, including equal
pay for equal work for women, trucking deregulation, higher
education, and alternative certification for teachers; the group
also helped found the Seed Capitol Network, one of the first venture
capital organizations in Texas; and
WHEREAS, Influential women with civic and professional
experience constitute the alliance's membership, and many of these
dedicated leaders serve in offices and on state boards and
commissions; the TWA enables these women not only to effect change
but to network and meet other women with diverse backgrounds from
across the state; expanding their horizons beyond our nation's
shores, coalition members have traveled to Spain, Switzerland,
Japan, Hungary, and other parts of the world on trade and education
missions; and
WHEREAS, The dedicated members of the Texas Women's Alliance
have demonstrated a steadfast interest in and knowledge of issues
facing all Texans, and their efforts have been of benefit to
countless residents of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 24, 2005, as Texas Women's
Alliance Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to those
TWA members present on this day; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
