R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, A number of engaged citizens are working to build an
  even brighter future for the North Texas community through their
  participation in the 2017 Leadership Dallas Class; and
         WHEREAS, Created in 1975 as a program of the Dallas Regional
  Chamber, Leadership Dallas serves to develop the potential of
  future leaders, identifying young businesspeople and entrepreneurs
  of diverse backgrounds and bringing them together with current
  leaders to explore issues critical to the community; and
         WHEREAS, Since its founding, this outstanding program has
  trained hundreds of participants in civic leadership; many of those
  individuals have gone on to serve as members of community, city, and
  county boards and commissions; in addition, the Leadership Dallas
  Alumni Association carries on the work of the program itself,
  offering opportunities for graduates to maintain strong
  relationships with one another and providing educational programs
  to help keep them abreast of issues facing the area; and
         WHEREAS, By working to complete the Leadership Dallas
  curriculum, the members of the Class of 2017 have demonstrated an
  admirable commitment to making a positive difference in the world
  around them, and they are indeed deserving of special recognition;
  now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the Leadership
  Dallas Class of 2017 on their participation in this worthwhile
  program and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future; and,
  be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the class as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
