H.R. No. 922
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas Consilium has played an instrumental role
in fostering a strong and competitive manufacturing industry in the
Lone Star State; and
WHEREAS, This nonprofit corporation was formed in July 2015
through a partnership between the Texas Manufacturing Assistance
Center and The University of Texas at Arlington; dedicated to
economic development, the organization maintains a statewide
network of resource providers that offer technical and business
assistance to small- and medium-sized manufacturers; and
WHEREAS, The Texas Consilium is providing valuable support
for an essential segment of the state's economy; the manufacturing
industry employs nearly 875,000 Texans and ranks highest in the
nation for manufacturing exports and shipment value; attracted by
the Texas Wide Open for Business campaign, many companies continue
to relocate to the Lone Star State for its business-friendly
environment and proven record of growth in a wide range of
industries, including aerospace, health care, technology, and
transportation; and
WHEREAS, By bringing together highly experienced executives
and professionals to work toward a common goal, the Texas Consilium
is helping to bolster a crucial component of our state's economy,
creating more jobs and greater prosperity for Texas residents; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the Texas Consilium for its significant
contributions to the state's economy and that all those associated
with the organization be extended sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Texas Consilium as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
