WHEREAS, The Central Fort Bend Chamber has been awarded
five-star accreditation by the United States Chamber of Commerce;
and
WHEREAS, The U.S. Chamber's accreditation program is
designed to promote excellence among local chambers of commerce and
to foster a pro-business environment across the country; to earn

accreditation; and

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
receiving five-star accreditation from the United States Chamber of
Commerce and extend to all those associated with the chamber
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
