SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 908
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Becky Moeller, who is retiring as President of the
Texas American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial
Organizations after a long and distinguished career in union
leadership; and
WHEREAS, Becky Moeller became the first woman to hold
statewide elected office in the Texas labor federation in 2003,
when she was elected secretary-treasurer; in that office, she
brought efficiencies and oversight to the budget that kept
programs successful through a time of transition; and
WHEREAS, As president, she has effectively overseen the
organization's legislative, political education, and community
service programs for 235,000 members; she was instrumental in the
implementation of a political education program that helped to
produce substantial gains for labor-backed candidates at the
state and national levels; and
WHEREAS, Highly respected in her field, Becky Moeller has
been a key figure in the Texas labor movement; she is admired for
her absolute dedication to the cause of labor in the state, and
her presence at the federation will be greatly missed; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend Becky Moeller for her exceptional
contributions as president of the Texas American Federation of
Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations and extend to her
best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
