H.R. No. 2242
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A number of engaged citizens are working to build an
even brighter future for the North Texas community through their
participation in the 2017 Leadership Dallas Class; and
WHEREAS, Created in 1975 as a program of the Dallas Regional
Chamber, Leadership Dallas serves to develop the potential of
future leaders, identifying young businesspeople and entrepreneurs
of diverse backgrounds and bringing them together with current
leaders to explore issues critical to the community; and
WHEREAS, Since its founding, this outstanding program has
trained hundreds of participants in civic leadership; many of those
individuals have gone on to serve as members of community, city, and
county boards and commissions; in addition, the Leadership Dallas
Alumni Association carries on the work of the program itself,
offering opportunities for graduates to maintain strong
relationships with one another and providing educational programs
to help keep them abreast of issues facing the area; and
WHEREAS, By working to complete the Leadership Dallas
curriculum, the members of the Class of 2017 have demonstrated an
admirable commitment to making a positive difference in the world
around them, and they are indeed deserving of special recognition;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the Leadership
Dallas Class of 2017 on their participation in this worthwhile
program and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the class as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
