WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Agricultural Lifetime
Leadership class XII are visiting the State Capitol as part of their
studies, and this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to honor
this worthwhile initiative and its participants; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1987, the Texas Agricultural
Lifetime Leadership program is part of Texas AgriLife Extension
Service of The Texas A&M University System; TALL is devoted to the
development of outstanding leaders in farming, ranching, and other
areas of agribusiness; the program focuses on men and women in the
early stages of their careers, and applicants must be residents of
Texas actively involved in agriculture-related industries;
participants are selected on the basis of their leadership
integrity and effectiveness, analytical and communication skills,
vocational commitment, and growth potential; and
WHEREAS, The goals of the program are to identify and support
emerging industry leaders, to heighten their knowledge of current
issues, and to increase their personal involvement in state, local,
and national activities that contribute to the growth of Texas
agriculture; and
WHEREAS, The TALL XII class consists of 26 accomplished
individuals; during their two years in the program, they will tour
extensively throughout Texas and make trips to Washington, D.C.,
New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and India; their trip to Austin
is allowing them to learn firsthand about state government and its
relationship with agricultural representation and its effects; and
WHEREAS, The members of the TALL XII class are devoting their
time and energy to advancing an important component of the state's
economy, and they are indeed deserving of recognition for their
dedication and hard work; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate members of the Texas Agricultural
Lifetime Leadership XII class on their selection for participation
in this important program and extend to them best wishes for the
future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the class as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
