R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the African American Leadership
Institute (AALI) of San Antonio are visiting the State Capitol on
February 9, 2011; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 2002 by Dr. Morris A. Stribling, the AALI
was created to identify and develop emerging leaders in the Alamo
City; during a 10-month program, the organization provides
training, mentoring, and networking that will prepare talented
citizens to take on a greater role in both the African American
community and the city at large; and
WHEREAS, To achieve its goal, the institute educates its
Fellows about the history, culture, and traditions that have
influenced the city's African American institutions and social
fabric; Fellows also study a range of important issues that they
will encounter as city leaders, including matters relating to
energy, health care, education, and technology; and
WHEREAS, After completing the program, each class works
together on a project that strengthens the bonds among its members
and that gives back to the community; graduates of the institute
continue to hone their leadership skills and to further their civic
involvement through membership in the AALI Alumni Association; and
WHEREAS, By empowering those who can inspire others and who
have the capacity to coordinate efforts in behalf of a common goal,
the African American Leadership Institute has significantly
contributed to the strength and well-being of San Antonio and its
African American community, and all those associated with this
organization are indeed deserving of special recognition; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby welcome the members of the African American
Leadership Institute to the State Capitol and commend the institute
on its outstanding public service; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the AALI as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
