is the oldest chamber in the county; the organization lives up to
its core values of commitment, leadership, integrity, service, and
passion through a variety of programs and initiatives, including
Leadership Fort Bend, the CTE Leadership Academy, and Lemonade Day
Central Fort Bend, which teaches area youth how to start and operate
their own business; and
WHEREAS, Organizations that support local businesses are
essential to the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and the Central
Fort Bend Chamber's receipt of this impressive recognition is a
testament to the significant role it plays in the community; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Central Fort Bend Chamber on

Commerce and extend to all those associated with the chamber
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
