5	5	WHEREAS, Those young people who give of their time and
6	6	talents to assist in the demanding work of the Texas Legislature are
7	7	truly deserving of our gratitude and admiration, and Leslie Weston
8	8	is one such individual; and
9	9	WHEREAS, Originally from Louisiana, Ms. Weston has served as
10	10	a legislative aide in the office of State Representative Elliott
11	11	Naishtat from January through May 2009, and her commitment,
12	12	dedication, and cheerful disposition have been greatly appreciated
13	13	by her colleagues; and
14	14	WHEREAS, Ms. Weston's expertise in the area of health and
15	15	human services has been particularly valuable to both
16	16	Representative Naishtat's staff and his constituents, and in
17	17	assisting citizens with questions relating to these areas, she has
18	18	seen firsthand the ability of public officials to have an impact on
19	19	policy; moreover, she has learned more than she thought possible
20	20	about state schools, board and care homes, child care licensing,
21	21	and other human services-related issues as she followed the House
22	22	Committee on Human Services and prepared for Representative
23	23	Naishtat analyses of every bill considered by the committee; and
24	24	WHEREAS, Going above and beyond the call of duty, Ms. Weston
25	25	has often stayed late into the night, preparing the
26	26	representative's committee notebook and shepherding legislation to
27	27	establish the Legislative Committee on Aging; she has further
28	28	distinguished herself through her work on Representative
29	29	Naishtat's legislation regarding access to electronic educational
30	30	materials for blind and visually impaired students, social worker
31	31	practice issues, and increasing access to higher education through
32	32	Americorps, and she has learned a considerable amount about floor
33	33	amendments; and
34	34	WHEREAS, Ms. Weston is a graduate student in the Master of
35	35	Social Work Program at The University of Texas at Austin, and her
36	36	knowledge and understanding of the inner workings of the Texas
37	37	Legislature and the legislative process will surely serve her well
38	38	as she prepares to enter the arena of macro social work; although
39	39	her coworkers, most especially the legislative director, are sorry
40	40	to see her tenure end, they share in her excitement as she prepares
41	41	to embark on a future that is bright with promise; now, therefore,
42	42	be it
43	43	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
44	44	Legislature hereby honor Leslie Weston for her outstanding service
45	45	as a legislative aide and extend to her sincere best wishes for
46	46	continued success and happiness; and, be it further
47	47	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
48	48	prepared for Ms. Weston as an expression of high regard by the Texas
49	49	House of Representatives.
