         WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Highland Lakes are visiting
  the State Capitol on April 8, 2009; and
         WHEREAS, Currently in its fourth year of operation,
  Leadership Highland Lakes was created to educate and inspire the
  future leaders of the region; this exceptional program provides
  opportunities for area residents to increase their knowledge of
  public issues and to meet with the legislators and local officials
  who are making decisions that affect this state; and
         WHEREAS, Participants attend monthly sessions, where they
  are introduced to guest speakers and engage in thoughtful
  discussions, and they take field trips to many of the key facilities
  and landmarks in the region; through such in-depth exposure,
  participants come to recognize the critical needs of the community,
  as well as the tools they will need to respond to them; they also
  meet experts in a variety of fields and learn about the local
  resources that are available to them; and
         WHEREAS, Leadership Highland Lakes encourages citizens to
  become more involved in the growth and direction of their
  community, and in so doing, it contributes to the future leadership
  of the Lone Star State and helps to ensure a bright and prosperous
  future for its residents; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 8, 2009, as Leadership Highland
  Lakes Legislative Day at the State Capitol and extend to the
  visiting delegation sincere best wishes for continued success with
  their important work; 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.
