WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Corpus Christi are gathering
at the State Capitol on March 5, 2013, and their attendance provides
a fitting opportunity to honor this outstanding group; and
WHEREAS, In 1972, the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce
responded to a community need for more leaders by establishing
Leadership Corpus Christi; now in its 41st year, the group provides
a forum for potential and existing business and community leaders
to meet federal, state, and city officials and to learn about
programs under their jurisdiction and the challenges facing the
community; and
WHEREAS, The third-oldest leadership development program in
the country, Leadership Corpus Christi helps its participants
enhance visionary leadership skills through in-depth training
using a model of community trusteeship, and graduates of each class
use these skills as they take part in various community volunteer
activities; and
WHEREAS, Endeavoring to foster a more informed and involved
citizenry and to develop new leaders in Corpus Christi, the program
is helping to build a brighter and more promising future for the
Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize March 5, 2013, as Leadership Corpus
Christi Day at the State Capitol and extend to the members and
alumni in attendance sincere best wishes for continued success;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Leadership Corpus Christi as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
