WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|

Solutions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pam Sheffield earned a degree in fashion buying |
|
|

|
|
WHEREAS, She became a member of Mexican American Business |
|
|

organization has been an inspiration to others; she was a speaker |
|
|

|
|
minorities and the symbolism of her famous red purse; and |

|
|
she became a member of HACEMOS, an organization within the |

|
|
themselves and the community, and she served as chair of its |
|

Leadership Program for a number of years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Pam is a past president of the Pan American League |
|
|
and served on the board of directors of the San Fernando |
|
|
Historical Centre; she is an exemplary woman who willingly gives |
|
|
of her time and energy to others and to her community, and her |
|
|
presence at AT&T Advertising Solutions is greatly missed; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
