SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1011
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas has the distinct |
|
|
pleasure of honoring longtime staff member Regina Saucier |
|
|
Martin, who is retiring as director of the Senate Research Center |
|
|
after 26 years and 11 months of distinguished service with the |
|
|
Senate and more than 30 years of service with the state; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Gina joined the Senate Research Center as |
|
|
assistant director in 2002 after having served for four years in |
|
|
the office of Senator Kent Caperton and for well over a decade in |
|
|
the office of Senator Mike Moncrief; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, She became director of Senate Research in 2004; in |
|
|
this crucial and challenging role, Gina has embodied the notion |
|
|
of grace under fire; for her, no request is too formidable, no |
|
|
query too complex, and no deadline too daunting; she has been the |
|
|
Senate's resident authority on countless topics, ranging from |
|
|
the obscure to the commonplace, and she has deftly handled all |
|
|
manner of inquiries with efficiency and poise; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, As director of Senate Research, Gina has managed |
|
|
the production of the essential analysis of every piece of |
|
|
legislation filed or considered in the Senate; under her |
|
|
consummate guidance, the department has also carried out its many |
|
|
other functions, which include conducting research on policy |
|
|
matters and producing meeting summary reports and myriad |
|
|
publications on legislative activity; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Along with her top-notch staff, Gina has fielded |
|
|
an array of requests and projects that would intimidate lesser |
|
|
professionals; she and her team respond promptly, accurately, |
|
|
and expertly to inquiries from the Senators' offices, the |
|
|
Lieutenant Governor's office, and various Senate committees; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, Gina has consistently led her team |
|
|
by example, remaining serene, cordial, and, at all times, |
|
|
helpful; as she embarks on the next chapter of her life, she can |
|
|
look forward to spending leisure time with her husband, Steve, |
|
|
her children, Ross and Sage, and her three grandsons; at the |
|
|
Senate, however, she will be dearly missed for her unique warmth |
|
|
and charm, and her sense of clarity and peerless attention to |
|
|
detail will long be appreciated by all who have had the pleasure |
|
|
of working with her; now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
|
83rd Legislature, hereby commend Regina Saucier Martin on her |
|
|
many years of excellent service to the Senate and extend to her |
|
|
sincere best wishes for the retirement years ahead; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
Gina Martin as an expression of highest regard from the |
|
|
Texas Senate. |
