H.R. No. 1330
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The House of Representatives of the State of Texas
is pleased to recognize Annie Uribe Turner, who has been selected
for induction on March 21, 2015, into the San Antonio Women's Hall
of Fame for her outstanding work in leadership in business and
finance; and
WHEREAS, Since 1984, the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame
annually honors those women who have contributed significantly to
the San Antonio community and the Bexar County region through their
accomplishments in their profession or field of service; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of over 33 years in banking, Annie
Uribe Turner has enjoyed a career that has allowed her to change the
perception that banking was merely a man's profession into one
profession where women are an integral part of the financial world;
and
WHEREAS, Starting at a small local bank in Laredo, she has
risen to become Vice President, Wells Fargo Bank, acting as a
manager of lender assisting small and growing businesses in the
community; and
WHEREAS, Annie Uribe Turner's statement regarding the
progress of women in the area of business and finance sums up the
attributes that make her worthy for induction into the San Antonio
Women's Hall of Fame: "When I began in business banking, there was
not a single female commercial lender and certainly no female
commercial lending managers. Today at Wells Fargo San Antonio/Hill
Country, over 30 percent of our lenders are female. I'm thankful to
work in an environment where women feel valued for their individual
traits, skills and talents"; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the State of
Texas, 84th Legislature, hereby commend Annie Uribe Turner for her
exceptional achievements and extend congratulations to her on her
induction into the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her as an expression of high regard and esteem by the
Texas House of Representatives.
