WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Corpus Christi are gathering |
|
|
at the State Capitol on March 5, 2013, and their attendance provides |
|
|
a fitting opportunity to honor this outstanding group; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1972, the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce |
|
|
responded to a community need for more leaders by establishing |
|
|
Leadership Corpus Christi; now in its 41st year, the group provides |
|
|
a forum for potential and existing business and community leaders |

|
to meet federal, state, and city officials and to learn about |
|
|
programs under their jurisdiction and the challenges facing the |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The third-oldest leadership development program in |
|
|
the country, Leadership Corpus Christi helps its participants |
|
|
enhance visionary leadership skills through in-depth training |
|
|
using a model of community trusteeship, and graduates of each class |
|
|
use these skills as they take part in various community volunteer |
|
|
activities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Endeavoring to foster a more informed and involved |
|
|
citizenry and to develop new leaders in Corpus Christi, the program |
|
|
is helping to build a brighter and more promising future for the |
|
|
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2013, as Leadership Corpus |
|
|
Christi Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members and |
|
|
alumni in attendance sincere best wishes for continued success; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Leadership Corpus Christi as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
