WHEREAS, The Texas Consilium has played an instrumental role |
|
|
in fostering a strong and competitive manufacturing industry in the |
|
|
Lone Star State; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This nonprofit corporation was formed in July 2015 |
|
|
through a partnership between the Texas Manufacturing Assistance |
|
|
Center and The University of Texas at Arlington; dedicated to |
|
|
economic development, the organization maintains a statewide |
|
|
network of resource providers that offer technical and business |
|
|
assistance to small- and medium-sized manufacturers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Consilium is providing valuable support |
|
|
for an essential segment of the state's economy; the manufacturing |
|
|
industry employs nearly 875,000 Texans and ranks highest in the |
|
|
nation for manufacturing exports and shipment value; attracted by |
|
|
the Texas Wide Open for Business campaign, many companies continue |
|
|
to relocate to the Lone Star State for its business-friendly |
|
|
environment and proven record of growth in a wide range of |
|
|
industries, including aerospace, health care, technology, and |
|
|
transportation; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By bringing together highly experienced executives |
|
|
and professionals to work toward a common goal, the Texas Consilium |
|
|
is helping to bolster a crucial component of our state's economy, |
|
|
creating more jobs and greater prosperity for Texas residents; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor the Texas Consilium for its significant |
|
|
contributions to the state's economy and that all those associated |
|
|
with the organization be extended sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Texas Consilium as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
