WHEREAS, The Texas Federation of Republican Women designed |
|
|
its 40 Under 40 Fellowship to promote engagement in the political |
|
|
process and to build stronger leaders across the Lone Star State; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Created for women between the ages of 18 and 40, |
|
|
especially those in early career stages, the fellowship offers |
|
|
professional development and networking opportunities; in |
|
|
addition, mentors can provide advice in such areas as personal |
|
|
branding, establishing a professional online presence, and |
|
|
cultivating relationships; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, TFRW provides an avenue for women to influence |
|
|
policy and to help develop and elect Texas leaders, and the |
|
|
organization energetically supports Republican candidates and |
|
|
fosters party unity; moreover, it encourages Republican women to |
|
|
run for office and trains them to become highly effective in civic |
|
|
life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Affiliated with the National Federation of |
|
|
Republican Women, TFRW is one of the largest women's political |
|
|
organizations in the nation; in accordance with the core values of |
|
|
the Republican Party, it endorses a commitment to government by the |
|
|
people and to active participation by citizens in the political |
|
|
process; the group strives to inform Texans about public policy and |
|
|
energize grassroots efforts for positive change; in recent election |
|
|
cycles, members have logged nearly four million hours as campaign |
|
|
volunteers, and they also accept special assignments on a |
|
|
year-round basis; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Citizen involvement is essential to the dynamism of |
|
|
our form of government, and through its 40 Under 40 Fellowship, the |
|
|
Texas Federation of Republican Women is motivating more women to |
|
|
take active roles in advancing the principles they hold dear; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize the Texas Federation of Republican |
|
|
Women for its 40 Under 40 Fellowship initiative and extend to its |
|
|
members sincere best wishes for continued success; 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. |
