H.R. No. 209
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, June Lohman, the manager of community and government
relations for Comcast and a longtime friend to the Houston
community, is retiring in 2011, after an outstanding 19-year career
in the cable industry; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Lohman's civic contributions have been many,
both as a private citizen and as the coordinator of her company's
community service initiatives; currently a board member of Child
Advocates, which trains and supports court-appointed volunteers
who work with children in foster care, she has played an
instrumental role in the development of one of that agency's
primary fund-raisers, the Houston Children's Festival; established
in 1988, the festival now offers more than 300 activities and draws
some 50,000 people annually; and
WHEREAS, Through her work at Comcast, this accomplished Texan
has also been responsible for launching some of the most innovative
and beneficial community programs in the Greater Houston area;
these include the Beyond School Walls program, a collaborative
venture with Big Brothers Big Sisters, in which students are
mentored on a regular basis at the Big Brothers Big Sisters'
workplace; Ms. Lohman has similarly overseen the local institution
of her company's Digital Connectors program, which helps youth from
low-income homes to gain digital literacy through both after-school
and summertime programs; in addition, she has guided Comcast Cares
Day, a day on which Comcast employees collectively devote thousands
of hours to worthy projects; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, June Lohman has helped to provide
countless young Houstonians with the security and skills they need
to build successful, rewarding lives, and she has contributed
immeasurably to strengthening the community for the benefit of all;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate June Lohman on
the occasion of her retirement from Comcast and extend to her
sincere best wishes for continued fulfillment in the years ahead;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Lohman as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
