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. |
