WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Dallas are visiting the State |
|
|
Capitol on May 13, 2025, and this occasion provides a fitting |
|
|
opportunity to recognize the 50th anniversary of this exemplary |
|
|
program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Responding to a need for local visionary and |
|
|
service-oriented leaders, Leadership Dallas was founded in 1975 as |
|
|
an initiative of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce, now known as the |
|
|
Dallas Regional Chamber; over the course of 10 months, participants |
|
|
meet at least once a month to examine topics critical to the |
|
|
community, such as health care, public policy, economic |
|
|
development, education, the arts, and the criminal justice system; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Each year, the Leadership Dallas class is made up of |
|
|
55 young businesspeople and entrepreneurs from diverse |
|
|
backgrounds; since its inception, the program has provided training |
|
|
in stewardship and civic responsibility to more than 2,300 |
|
|
participants, and many of these individuals have gone on to serve on |
|
|
local boards and commissions; they also maintain connections and |
|
|
stay up-to-date on the issues facing area residents through the |
|
|
Leadership Dallas Alumni association; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For half a century, Leadership Dallas has made a |
|
|
lasting, positive impact on its members as well as the wider |
|
|
community, and all those associated with the program are indeed |
|
|
deserving of special recognition for their outstanding |
|
|
contributions; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor the members of Leadership Dallas Class of |
|
|
2025 on the occasion of their visit to the State Capitol and |
|
|
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the program; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
