H.R. No. 1529
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, ERO Architects of McAllen has much to celebrate as
the firm has earned a number of notable commendations; and
WHEREAS, ERO and its chief executive officer, Eli Ochoa, were
named one of the Top Five Small Businesses for 2010 by the McAllen
Chamber of Commerce; and
WHEREAS, Also in 2010, ERO Architects was selected to receive
the prestigious State of Texas Small Business Award from the Office
of the Governor; the company was singled out in the categories of
Business Skills and Model for Business Skills Use; and
WHEREAS, Yet another honor is being realized in May 2011,
when ERO's chief designer, Manuel Hinojosa, is being inducted into
the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows; this
distinction is bestowed on only three percent of the organization's
members, and Mr. Hinojosa is just the third architect from the Lower
Rio Grande Valley AIA chapter to be so named in the past 60 years;
and
WHEREAS, The strength of our state's economy is greatly
influenced by the vision and ingenuity of exceptional small
businesses such as ERO Architects, and the firm's officers and
staff may take justifiable pride in their accomplishments; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Eli Ochoa, Manuel Hinojosa, and the
other members of the ERO Architects team on their recent
recognitions 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 the company as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
