|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Jane Cummins, who was sworn in as president of the |
|
|
Texas Lyceum on January 22, 2015; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Lyceum is a nonprofit, nonpartisan |
|
|
organization dedicated to identifying the next generation of |
|
|
Texas leaders; it is composed of young men and women from across |
|
|
the state who have demonstrated leadership in their professions |
|
|
and communities, as well as a deep commitment to Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Jane Cummins is the executive director of the |
|
|
award-winning Housing, Entrepreneurship and Readiness Training |
|
|

|
|
established to serve Houston-area adults with developmental |
|
|
disabilities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under her leadership, the program has addressed |
|
|
the challenge of limited employment opportunities for those with |
|
|
developmental disabilities by working in partnership with local |
|
|
venues to provide jobs in such areas as concession sales and |
|
|
vending machine maintenance; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through the years, she has received numerous |
|
|
honors for her work, including the title of Outstanding Young |
|
|
Texan from the Texas Jaycees, the Rising Star award from the |
|
|
Houston chapter of the League of Women Voters, and the title of |
|
|
First Lady of the Year from the Houston City Council; it is truly |
|
|
fitting that she receive special recognition for her outstanding |
|
|
achievements; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Jane Cummins on her commitment to |
|
|
service and extend to her congratulations and best wishes for |
