|

|
|
WHEREAS, Sasha Rasco serves as associate commissioner for |
|
|
Family Support Services at the Texas Health and Human Services |
|
|

|

|
|
WHEREAS, A proud alumni of The University of Texas at |
|

and began her career in early childhood education before |
|
|
completing a master's degree at the university's Lyndon B. |

with the Department of Family and Protective Services; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In her positions of leadership with Prevention |
|
|
and Early Intervention and Family Support Services, Sasha's |
|
|
expertise and dedication have made her an invaluable asset and |

|
have greatly benefited efforts to oversee grants, conduct data |
|
|
collection, and administer training and technical assistance to |
|
|
hundreds of organizations in the state that provide family and |
|
|
community support services; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Her unwavering commitment to promoting the safety |
|
|
and development of young Texans has made a positive and lasting |
|
|
impact, and her presence and contributions will be greatly missed |
|
|
by all at the commission; she is highly respected and admired by |
|
|
her friends and colleagues, and it is indeed fitting that they |
|
|
join in celebrating her retirement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|

|
|
