WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Corpus Christi are visiting
the State Capitol on February 11-12, 2009, and their attendance
provides a fitting opportunity to honor this outstanding group; and
WHEREAS, In 1972, the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce
responded to a community need for more leaders by establishing
Leadership Corpus Christi; now in its 37th year, the program
provides a forum for potential and existing business and community
leaders to meet federal, state, and city officials and to learn
about programs under their jurisdiction and the challenges facing
the community; and
WHEREAS, The third-oldest leadership development program in
the country, Leadership Corpus Christi helps its participants
enhance visionary leadership skills through in-depth training
using a model of community trusteeship, and graduates of each class
use these skills as they take part in various community volunteer
activities; and
WHEREAS, Endeavoring to foster a more informed and involved
citizenry and to develop new leaders in Corpus Christi, the program
is helping to build a brighter and more promising future for the
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby welcome the members and alumni of Leadership
Corpus Christi to the State Capitol and extend to them sincere best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Leadership Corpus Christi as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
