WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Mission are visiting the State |
|
|
Capitol on April 27, 2009, to gain further insight into the workings |
|
|
of state government; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This exceptional program provides opportunities for |
|
|
participants to increase their knowledge of vital public issues and |
|
|
to visit with the leaders who are making decisions that affect their |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Meeting regularly over the course of a nine-month |
|
|
period, participants further develop their skills and enhance their |
|
|
knowledge of vital public issues as they study topics ranging from |
|
|
the history of Mission, to city and county government, the police |
|
|
and fire departments, health care, education, the media, and |
|
|
federal agencies, in addition to taking a maquila tour; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Classes inspire a spirit of activism and provide a |
|
|
diverse membership with personal leadership training, networking |
|
|
opportunities, and instruction from influential figures from both |
|
|
the public and private sectors; each annual Leadership group also |
|
|
completes a project of benefit to the community; in recent years, |
|
|
these projects have included donations to the Mission Historical |
|
|
Museum, the Mission Speer Memorial Library, and the Mission Boys |
|
|
and Girls Club; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Leadership Mission awards scholarships each session |
|
|
to members who are in high school or college and who successfully |
|
|
complete the LM program; to raise funds for these scholarships, |
|
|
class projects, and the annual legislative trip, members |
|
|
participate in such worthwhile events as the Texas Citrus Fiesta, |
|
|
the City Tree Lighting Ceremony, and a benefit raffle; they also |
|
|
sponsor the popular Leadership Mission Golf Classic; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through fostering a more informed and involved |
|
|
citizenry and developing new leaders, Leadership Mission is helping |
|
|
to create a brighter and more promising future for the Lone Star |
|
|
State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby welcome members of Leadership Mission to the |
|
|
State Capitol and extend to all participants sincere best wishes |
|
|
for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
