SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1117
WHEREAS, It is with great pride that the Texas Senate
honors one of its most loyal and beloved staff members, Dianne
Arrington, by naming her the 2009 administrative recipient of the
Betty King Public Service Award; and
WHEREAS, During her long tenure as a legislative employee
and officer of the Texas Senate, Dianne has always exemplified
the best in Senate tradition, and she has earned the enduring
admiration and affection of the legislators and her Capitol
colleagues; and
WHEREAS, As Senate Journal Clerk, Dianne has deftly
handled the many responsibilities entailed in publishing the
Senate Journal, and she has a long-established reputation for
carrying out her duties with enthusiasm, dedication, and
proficiency; and
WHEREAS, Since becoming Journal Clerk in 1991, Dianne has
been in charge of the accurate accounting of the Senate's daily
proceedings and the documentation of bills, and she is known for
having faced difficult deadlines and long hours with remarkable
composure and perseverance; and
WHEREAS, As head of the Journal Department, Dianne has
distinguished herself as a strong team leader who is known as
much for her convivial personality as for her superior
organizational skills and professional strengths; and
WHEREAS, Dianne is a much-cherished and highly respected
Senate staff member whose presence in the Capitol will be
greatly missed upon her retirement, and she is most deserving
of her selection for the prestigious Betty King Public Service
Award; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
