one-woman operation, the business has grown to employ as many as
seven people, working in behalf of a variety of public and private
entities; Ware & Associates clients include the Dallas/Fort Worth

helps clients navigate changing demographics by providing
multicultural diversity development and compliance services and
business diversity planning and by helping them reach a

Commerce, the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce,
the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Public
Relations Society of America; and
WHEREAS, Independently owned businesses play a vital role in
the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and enterprises such as Ware &
Associates that establish a record of dependability and longevity
are indeed deserving of special recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commemorate the 30th
anniversary of Ware & Associates and extend to Wyntress Ware and her
staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
