SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1073
WHEREAS, It is with great pride that the Texas Senate has
selected both a very special employee, Sharon Scarborough, and
the outstanding staff of Senate Media Services as the 2015
administrative recipients of the Betty King Public Service
Award; and
WHEREAS, One of the Senate's most loyal and respected
employees, Sharon exemplifies the best in Senate service, and
during her long and productive tenure of more than 22 years, she
has earned the admiration and affection of the senators and her
Capitol colleagues; and
WHEREAS, In 1993, she joined the proofing department of
Senate Engrossing and Enrolling, where she served with
distinction and was the assistant proofing supervisor; she
became interim director of Senate Media Services in 2001 and was
named director in 2002, and she has been in charge of a dedicated
team that has portrayed the story of the Texas Senate through
photographs and videos of the highest quality; and
WHEREAS, Known for their high standards and attention to
detail, Sharon and the media staff members produce the Senate's
audio and video news releases and photograph senators and action
on the Senate floor; they maintain the video recording systems in
the Senate Chamber and committee rooms, and they have a
long-established reputation for carrying out their duties
proficiently and with dedication and enthusiasm; and
WHEREAS, As head of the department, Sharon has
distinguished herself as an effective team leader who is known as
much for the courtesy with which she treats others as for her
organizational and professional strengths, and she and the Media
Services staff have faced difficult and demanding hours with
remarkable composure and focus on task; and
WHEREAS, Sharon is a much-cherished and highly respected
Senate employee, and she and all of the staff members of Media
Services are most deserving of their selection as administrative
recipients of the prestigious Betty King Public Service Award;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend Sharon Scarborough and the entire
staff of Senate Media Services on their invaluable contributions
to the Texas Senate and extend to them congratulations on earning
a 2015 Betty King Public Service Award; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a
tribute to their excellent work.
