WHEREAS, Alan Iud of Argentina and other professionals from
Latin America were invited to participate in a U.S. Department of
State International Visitor Leadership Program in May 2013, and
Dallas was among the cities included on their tour; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1940, IVLP connects current and
emerging foreign leaders with their American counterparts through
short-term exchanges; an initiative of the Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs, the program centers around a project theme
and typically includes visits to four U.S. communities; and
WHEREAS, With a focus on the administration of justice, this
IVLP event was designed to help leaders from other countries deepen
their understanding of the civil, criminal, juvenile, and military
justice systems in the United States; participants examined the
underlying principles of the U.S. judicial and legal systems and
studied the administration of courts, case management, the trial by
jury process, and alternative dispute resolution; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Iud brought a valuable perspective to the
experience; he holds a degree in law from the University of Buenos
Aires and works as a lawyer for the Association of the Grandmothers
of the Plaza de Mayo; and
WHEREAS, The International Visitor Leadership Program helps
bridge cultural and political divides, and the exchange of ideas
that the program facilitates is sure to benefit citizens of both
Argentina and the United States; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby honor Alan Iud for his
participation in the U.S. Department of State International Visitor
Leadership Program in May 2013 and extend to him sincere best wishes
for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Iud as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
