SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 829
WHEREAS, The year 2013 marks the 20th anniversary of the
Young Women's Alliance; and
WHEREAS, Established in Austin in 1993, the organization
was founded by some 20 young professional women who gathered
regularly to network and exchange ideas and information
concerning their business endeavors; the group grew, and in 1995,
members wrote bylaws, incorporated as a nonprofit corporation
under the name Win2, and formed a board of directors and an
advisory council; the following year, the board officially
changed the name of the organization to the Young Women's
Alliance; and
WHEREAS, Today, the Young Women's Alliance is composed of
more than 200 women from different industries and diverse
backgrounds, ranging in age from early 20s to late 30s; the
alliance provides its members a wide range of educational
programs, as well as professional development and leadership
opportunities; and
WHEREAS, For two decades, this outstanding organization has
supported many young women in their quest to achieve their full
potential, and it is indeed a privilege to recognize the alliance
at this special point in its history; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
Legislature, hereby commemorate the 20th anniversary of the
Young Women's Alliance and extend to its members sincere best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for the alliance as an expression of high regard by the
Texas Senate.
