H.R. No. 2923
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is holding
its second annual Health Summit and Business Expo on September 30,
2009; and
WHEREAS, The HHCC is the leading advocate in the region for
the economic and civic interests of the Hispanic business
community; since its founding 30 years ago, this organization has
gone from being one of the smallest chambers of commerce in Texas to
one of the largest; and
WHEREAS, Reflecting the dramatic growth of the city's
Hispanic population, which has doubled since 1990, the chamber's
membership has also increased spectacularly, rising from 500 to
2,800 members over the past two years; in keeping with its
burgeoning strength, the organization has recently relocated to a
new building in downtown Houston; and
WHEREAS, The chamber's annual Health Summit and Business Expo
enables individual members and companies to come together in a
dynamic setting to exchange information and insights, to showcase
their products and services, and to forge new relationships and
renew old ones; and
WHEREAS, Contributing to the growth of Houston even during
difficult times, the HHCC's annual Health Summit and Business Expo
is a highlight of the Bayou City's business calendar and truly
worthy of recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the second annual Health Summit and
Business Expo of the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and
extend to the chamber and the expo's sponsors and attendees sincere
best wishes for an exciting and informative event; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as an
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
