SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 335

	WHEREAS, In 1972, the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce 
responded to a community need for more leaders by establishing 
the Leadership Corpus Christi program; and
	WHEREAS, Now in its thirty-third year, Leadership
Corpus Christi serves to educate potential and existing business 
and community leaders through exposure to diverse realities, 
personalities, and challenges to the community; and
	WHEREAS, The third oldest leadership development program 
in the country, Leadership Corpus Christi develops and enhances 
visionary leadership skills through in-depth training using a 
model of community trusteeship; and
	WHEREAS, Each Leadership Corpus Christi class makes 
significant contributions to the community, as alumni actively 
engage in various community volunteer programs; and
	WHEREAS, The organization's chairman is John Valls, and the 
Steering Committee members are Daniel Dain, Sharon Kollaja, 
Lillian Riojas, Willie Rivera, Butch Pool, Robert McCarthy, 
Diane LaRue, Tom Niskala, and Wayne Bennet; and
	WHEREAS, This fine organization has had a positive and 
lasting impact on the Corpus Christi community and has chosen to 
visit the Capitol with its 33rd class on March 10, 2005; it is 
indeed appropriate that Leadership Corpus Christi receive 
special legislative recognition for its many accomplishments; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby recognize the members and alumni of 
Leadership Corpus Christi and extend to them sincere best wishes 
for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
Leadership Corpus Christi as an expression of high regard from 
the Texas Senate.
