|
|
workings of state government; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Leadership Lewisville program is sponsored by |
|
|
the Lewisville Area Chamber of Commerce; the course was created in |

|
|
challenges and opportunities facing the community; and |

|
WHEREAS, All residents of the greater Lewisville area are |

eligible to apply for the program; over the course of nine months, |
|
|
participants study the functions and procedures of their city, |
|
|
county, and state, for instance by attending school board and city |
|
|
council meetings, and they learn about businesses and economic |
|
|
factors and discover ways that they can make the area a better place |
|
|
to live and work; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Endeavoring to foster a more informed and involved |
|
|
citizenry and to develop new leaders, this worthwhile program is |
|
|
helping to build a bright future for Lewisville, which in turn |
|
|
benefits all citizens of the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Leadership Lewisville on the occasion of |
|
|
the group's visit to the State Capitol and extend to all those |
|
|
associated with the organization sincere best wishes for a |
|
|
meaningful and memorable day in Austin; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Leadership Lewisville as an expression of high regard |
|
|
by the Texas House of Representatives. |
