WHEREAS, The Texas Lyceum is celebrating the investiture of |
|
its 2015 president, Jane Cummins, in Austin on January 22, 2015; and |
|
WHEREAS, Observing its 35th anniversary in 2015, the Texas |
|
Lyceum is dedicated to the Aristotelian pursuit of free and open |
|
discussion of societal concerns in order to reach a consensus for |
|
shaping a successful future; the organization's 96 directors strive |
|
to identify and develop the next generation of top leadership, to |
|
examine the interrelationships of the major issues facing the |
|
state, to foster a greater understanding of these issues among key |
|
decision makers, and to promote stewardship of Texas values, |
|
traditions, and resources; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Lyceum draws its directors from across the |
|
state; active leaders in their communities, they are committed to |
|
the betterment of Texas through the organization, which conducts |
|
public forums, publishes the Lyceum Journal, commissions the Texas |
|
Lyceum Poll, and convenes programs for the directors; the diverse |
|
backgrounds, opinions, and expertise represented in the group |
|
contribute significantly to the meaningful exploration of |
|
constructive responses to the problems of the day; and |
|
WHEREAS, For more than three decades, the Texas Lyceum has |
|
worked to advance quality of life in the Lone Star State, upholding |
|
a rich heritage of civic engagement, and it is indeed fitting to |
|
recognize the organization as it embarks on the next exciting |
|
chapter of its history; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the investiture of Jane Cummins as |
|
the 2015 president of the Texas Lyceum and commend the organization |
|
for its 35 years of service; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
