H.R. No. 1038
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Southeast Texas representing
more than 100 Southeast Texas businesses, organizations, and
governmental entities are visiting the State Capitol on March 28,
2011; and
WHEREAS, An educational nonprofit corporation serving the
region that includes Chambers, Hardin, Jasper, Jefferson, Liberty,
Newton, Orange, and Tyler Counties and the Bolivar Peninsula of
Galveston County, Leadership Southeast Texas was founded in 1992 to
identify and motivate leaders in the area and provide opportunities
for leadership development and networking among decision makers and
stakeholders, as well as contribute to regional economic
advancement; and
WHEREAS, This exemplary program boasts an impressive
membership of 898 graduates who currently reside and work in 101
cities across Texas, 26 states, and Europe, Iraq, China, and Panama
and who serve as ambassadors for Southeast Texas and the entire Lone
Star State through more than 512 business affiliations; and
WHEREAS, Leadership Southeast Texas promotes a better
understanding of communities in the area by identifying and
studying timely issues that are significant to ongoing business
development and by encouraging innovative approaches to those
issues and professional interaction and communication with
prominent state leaders; and
WHEREAS, In today's global society, communities are
increasingly impacted by national and international economic
forces, making it even more essential to stay fully informed and
involved; local communities are often on the front lines of change,
and input is especially valuable as citizens work to establish the
foundations for future progress; by viewing opportunities and
challenges on a regional and statewide basis, individual cities and
counties can often more successfully address them; and
WHEREAS, The interdependence of the communities of Southeast
Texas has been demonstrated by the continuing impact from
Hurricanes Rita, Humberto, and Ike in 2005, 2007, and 2008;
moreover, in a region whose natural and energy resources play such
major roles in the national and world economies, it is even more
imperative that communities appreciate how they support each other;
and
WHEREAS, Recognizing that the future of the region will be
determined by its young people, the group launched Youth Leadership
Southeast Texas in 2011; this new initiative is a call to civic
action that strives to encourage the development of leadership
skills in diverse student populations and to increase understanding
between students from different schools and communities; and
WHEREAS, With 94 participants from 34 high schools in 10
counties, plus 40 faculty liaisons and 75 regional business
members, the day-long inaugural Youth Conference enabled students
to learn important leadership skills and ended with each school's
students choosing a community project that they will implement as a
way to improve the quality of life in their hometowns; and
WHEREAS, For 19 years, Leadership Southeast Texas Day has
provided an opportunity for alumni and new members to celebrate the
achievements of Southeast Texas, and it is a privilege to recognize
these civic-minded men and women for their substantial
contributions to the betterment of the Lone Star State; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 28, 2011, as Leadership
Southeast Texas Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members
of the visiting delegation best wishes for a productive and
celebratory day and for continued success in all their endeavors;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the participants in Leadership Southeast Texas as an
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
