|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Tim Brown, who is retiring as president and chief |
|
|

|
|
2019, after 36 years of service to the organization; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Methodist Children's Home in Waco provides |
|
|
residential services, transitional living services, and in-home |
|
|
services to more than 5,000 individuals in Texas and New Mexico |
|
|
each year; Tim Brown has served the organization in several |
|

|
|
years of distinguished leadership as executive director; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Brown began supporting the Methodist |
|
|
Children's Home's mission as a home parent in 1971; he went on to |
|
|
become a recreational coordinator, and he rose through the ranks |
|
|
to serve in several leadership positions before stepping in as |
|
|
executive director in 2010; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, During his tenure as director, Mr. Brown |
|
|
initiated a strategic planning process that strengthened the |

this process led to a master plan for 11 new residential homes on |
|
|
the historic Waco campus that have drawn the attention of child |
|

care agencies throughout the nation; the ministry has been |
|
|
recognized by the top charity oversight organization as a |

|
compassion, and his invaluable expertise has set the Methodist |
|
|
Children's Home on a course for continued growth and success; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |

|
to the community and his exemplary leadership of the Methodist |
