WHEREAS, Participants in Leadership Southeast Texas are |
|
|
celebrating the 15th anniversary of the founding of their notable |
|
|
organization and are traveling to Austin on March 26, 2007, for |
|
|
Leadership Southeast Texas Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Organized by the Partnership of Southeast Texas, |
|
|
Leadership Southeast Texas is designed to provide business and |
|
|
civic leaders with opportunities to learn about and contribute to |
|
|
area economic advancement; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Leadership Southeast Texas promotes a better |
|
|
understanding of both the obstacles to and the opportunities for |
|
|
economic development, regional unity, and quality of life in |
|
|
Southeast Texas; including representatives from Chambers, Hardin, |
|
|
Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty, Newton, Orange, and Tyler Counties, as |
|
|
well as the Bolivar Peninsula of Galveston County, LSET identifies |
|
|
and studies issues that are significant to ongoing business |
|
|
development and encourages innovative approaches to addressing the |
|
|
issues; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The program boasts more than 650 graduates who |
|
|
represent 120 businesses, organizations, and governmental entities |
|
|
from the region and includes some alumni who now live and work in 20 |
|
|
different states, Europe, and the Middle East, in addition to |
|
|
nearly 50 different Texas cities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Communities are increasingly affected by national |
|
|
and international forces, and they are often on the front lines of |
|
|
change, but events and needs may be too great for one city or county |
|
|
to address alone and instead require regional and statewide |
|
|
efforts; for Southeast Texas to continue to grow and thrive, it is |
|
|
imperative that communities appreciate their interdependence and |
|
|
work together to succeed; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Building networks of civic-minded individuals with |
|
|
exceptional understanding of economic issues, Leadership Southeast |
|
|
Texas has contributed immeasurably to the success and prosperity of |
|
|
the region and the Lone Star State, and it is most appropriate to |
|
|
commend this noteworthy program; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 26, 2007, as Leadership |
|
|
Southeast Texas Day at the State Capitol and extend to LSET alumni |
|
|
and new graduates sincere best wishes for continued success; and, |
|
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Leadership Southeast Texas as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
