||
| WHEREAS, Becky Moeller celebrated her 70th birthday on | ||

| to recognize her for her invaluable contributions to the Coastal | ||
| Bend region and to the State of Texas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A committed and stalwart champion for the rights of | ||
| working men and women in Texas, Ms. Moeller became involved in the | ||

| WHEREAS, In 2003, Ms. Moeller won election as | ||

| efficiencies and oversight to the budget that helped the union | ||
| successfully navigate a time of transition; she subsequently | ||
| assumed the office of president in 2007, and during a remarkable | ||
| tenure that spanned eight years, she ably led the organization's | ||
| legislative and community service programs on behalf of its more | ||
| than 235,000 members and helped implement a political education | ||
| effort that produced substantial gains for labor-friendly | ||
| candidates at the state and national levels; she also served as | ||
| president of the Southern Region of the AFL-CIO and on the national | ||
| AFL-CIO General Board; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ms. Moeller has further benefited her fellow | ||
| citizens as chair of the commission overseeing the Texas Department | ||
| of Licensing and Regulation, and she has held membership on the | ||
| United Way Board of Governors and the Coastal Bend Workforce | ||
| Development Board; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Respected and admired by all who are privileged to | ||
| know her, Becky Moeller may reflect with great satisfaction on a | ||
| lifetime of achievement, and it is a pleasure to join her many | ||
| friends and loved ones in honoring her on this important milestone | ||
| in her life; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Becky Moeller on her 70th birthday | ||
| and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success and | ||
| happiness; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Ms. Moeller as an expression of high regard by the | ||
