WHEREAS, Members of Leadership Mission are visiting the State | ||
Capitol on April 24, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, This exceptional program provides opportunities for | ||
participants to increase their knowledge of vital public issues and | ||
to visit with the leaders who are making decisions that affect their | ||
community; and | ||
WHEREAS, Meeting regularly over the course of a nine-month | ||
period, participants of Leadership Mission further develop their | ||
skills and enhance their knowledge of important public issues as | ||
they study topics ranging from the history of Mission to city and | ||
county government, the police and fire departments, health care, | ||
education, the media, federal agencies, and economic development; | ||
in addition, participants take a maquila tour; and | ||
WHEREAS, Classes inspire a spirit of activism and provide | ||
opportunities for leadership training, networking, community | ||
service, and instruction from influential figures from both the | ||
public and the private sectors; each annual Leadership group also | ||
completes a project of benefit to the community; these projects | ||
have included donations to the Mission Historical Museum, the Speer | ||
Memorial Library, the Boys & Girls Club of Mission, and The | ||
University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley, as well as contributions to | ||
the Christmas Bikes initiative; and | ||
WHEREAS, Leadership Mission awards scholarships each session | ||
to members who are in college and who successfully complete the LM | ||
program; to raise funds for these scholarships, class projects, and | ||
the annual legislative trip, members participate in fundraisers | ||
such as the popular Leadership Mission Golf Tournament and Turkey | ||
Bowl Tournament; over the years, Leadership Mission has also given | ||
back to the community by volunteering for the Back to School | ||
shopping event, National Night Out, the Mission Pink Walk/Run for | ||
Breast Cancer Awareness & Treatment, the Mayor's Christmas Tree | ||
Lighting Ceremony, the Mission Community Health and Wellness Fair, | ||
and the City of Mission Trash Bash; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through fostering a more informed and involved | ||
citizenry and developing new leaders, Leadership Mission is helping | ||
create a brighter and more promising future for the Lone Star State; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize April 24, 2023, as Leadership Mission | ||
Day at the State Capitol and extend to all program participants | ||
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
