WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Mission are visiting the State |
|
|
Capitol on February 4, 2013, to gain greater 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 important 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, |
|
|
federal agencies, and economic development; in addition, |
|
|
participants take 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, the Mission Boys and |
|
|
Girls Club, and The University of Texas--Pan American; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Leadership Mission awards scholarships each session |
|
|
to members who are in 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 Skeet Shoot and Golf Classic; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through fostering a more informed and involved |
|
|
citizenry and developing new leaders, Leadership Mission is helping |
|
|
create 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 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. |
