HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas State Association of |
|
|
Parliamentarians are gathering in Houston May 20-22, 2011, to |
|
|
participate in their annual convention, and this occasion provides |
|
|
an ideal opportunity to recognize this outstanding organization; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Established in 1955, the TSAP is a constituent |
|
|
division of the National Association of Parliamentarians; the |
|
|
national organization was founded in 1930 and ranks as the oldest |
|
|
and largest professional nonprofit association of parliamentarians |
|
|
in the world; its primary objectives are teaching, promoting, and |
|
|
disseminating the philosophy and principles underlying the rules of |
|
|
deliberative assemblies; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Members of the TSAP benefit from a supportive |
|
|
environment in which their fellow members share their expertise and |
|
|
years of experience; a solid knowledge of parliamentary law is |
|
|
essential to assemblies of all sizes, from the United States |
|
|
Congress and state legislatures to school boards, corporate boards, |
|
|
churches, clubs, and professional organizations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Parliamentary procedure enables deliberative bodies |
|
|
to transact the business of their meetings in an orderly, |
|
|
productive, and democratic fashion, and parliamentarians play a |
|
|
vital role in furthering a structure that facilitates fair and |
|
|
efficient decision making; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby recognize the Texas State Association of Parliamentarians on |
|
|
the occasion of its 2011 convention and extend to all those |
|
|
participating sincere best wishes for a productive event; and, be |
|
|
it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the association as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives and Senate. |
