WHEREAS, The House of Representatives of the State of Texas |
|
|
is pleased to recognize Annie Uribe Turner, who has been selected |
|
|
for induction on March 21, 2015, into the San Antonio Women's Hall |
|
|
of Fame for her outstanding work in leadership in business and |
|
|
finance; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 1984, the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame |
|
|
annually honors those women who have contributed significantly to |
|
|
the San Antonio community and the Bexar County region through their |
|
|
accomplishments in their profession or field of service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the course of over 33 years in banking, Annie |
|
|
Uribe Turner has enjoyed a career that has allowed her to change the |
|
|
perception that banking was merely a man's profession into one |
|
|
profession where women are an integral part of the financial world; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Starting at a small local bank in Laredo, she has |
|
|
risen to become Vice President, Wells Fargo Bank, acting as a |
|
|
manager of lender assisting small and growing businesses in the |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Annie Uribe Turner's statement regarding the |
|
|
progress of women in the area of business and finance sums up the |
|
|
attributes that make her worthy for induction into the San Antonio |
|
|
Women's Hall of Fame: "When I began in business banking, there was |
|
|
not a single female commercial lender and certainly no female |
|
|
commercial lending managers. Today at Wells Fargo San Antonio/Hill |
|
|
Country, over 30 percent of our lenders are female. I'm thankful to |
|
|
work in an environment where women feel valued for their individual |
|
|
traits, skills and talents"; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the State of |
|
|
Texas, 84th Legislature, hereby commend Annie Uribe Turner for her |
|
|
exceptional achievements and extend congratulations to her on her |
|
|
induction into the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for her as an expression of high regard and esteem by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
