executive officer of the Methodist Children's Home on June 30,
2019, after 36 years of service to the organization; and
WHEREAS, The Methodist Children's Home in Waco provides
residential services, transitional living services, and in-home
services to more than 5,000 individuals in Texas and New Mexico
each year; Tim Brown has served the organization in several
capacities during his long career, and he is retiring after nine
years of distinguished leadership as executive director; and
