SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 539
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Ashley Harris-Land, who was recently honored with the |
|
|
2024 AmeriCorps Legacy of Service Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This prestigious accolade highlights the |
|
|
exemplary achievements of AmeriCorps alumni who have gone above |
|
|
and beyond the scope of their service requirements in addressing |
|
|
the nation's most pressing challenges; this honor was conferred |
|
|
upon her at the 41st Annual Governor Volunteer Awards, which took |
|
|
place on April 23, 2025; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ashley Harris-Land currently serves as an |
|
|
AmeriCorps program director, and she began her AmeriCorps |
|
|
commitment at Legacy Community Health in 2018 as a full-time |
|
|
member; she distinguished herself for professional excellence by |
|
|
assisting the center in modernizing its curriculum and |
|
|
coordinating its prenatal education opportunities; while serving |
|
|
in this capacity, she earned certification as a child passenger |
|
|
safety technician; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, During her tenure as program director, Ashley |
|
|
expanded the Legacy Community Health program to include more than |
|
|
70 AmeriCorps members; she has helped guide the program's |
|
|
technology transitions, COVID-19 response efforts, and major |
|
|
fund-raising events, and she continues to volunteer her time with |
|
|
Connect Community and as a speaker at AmeriCorps events; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An exemplary public servant, Ashley models the |
|
|
highest ideals of AmeriCorps and inspires countless volunteers |
|
|
by unselfishly donating her time to help her community and by |
|
|
inspiring other AmeriCorps members to continue on their journeys |
|
|
with the organization; it is indeed fitting that she receive |
|
|
special recognition for her generous volunteerism and for her |
|
|
efforts to improve health outcomes and service opportunities in |
|
|
the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Ashley Harris-Land on her |
|
|
outstanding service with AmeriCorps and extend to her |
|
|
congratulations on receiving an AmeriCorps Legacy of Service |
|
|
Award and best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
