WHEREAS, The retirement of Carolyn Burns from Wood County |
|
|
Electric Cooperative (WCEC) brings to a close a highly successful |
|
|
tenure with the company that has spanned 18 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hired in 1988, Ms. Burns quickly became an |
|
|
invaluable asset to the company; she used her background in |
|
|
newsprint and radio to revitalize the way WCEC handled its |
|
|
advertising, and by the time of her retirement, she had helped make |
|
|
the cooperative's public relations department one of the best in |
|
|
the state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to her work in handling WCEC's |
|
|
communications, she has been a tireless volunteer with the |
|
|
company's civic endeavors; her efforts included organizing and |
|
|
chaperoning the East Texas Rural Electric Youth Seminar camp, |
|
|
conducting demonstrations for schools, and coordinating the WCEC |
|
|
Scholarship and Youth Tour programs; she has also given back to her |
|
|
community through her involvement with the local Rotary club; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Burns has set an example of professional |
|
|
excellence to which all may aspire; as she prepares to embark on the |
|
|
next chapter in her life, she may reflect with pride on her many |
|
|
accomplishments at WCEC and know that her presence, both as a |
|
|
coworker and friend, will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Carolyn Burns on the occasion of |
|
|
her retirement from Wood County Electric Cooperative and extend to |
|
|
her best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Burns as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
