State of Texas that spanned more than 22 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Goodman is a proud alumna of Baylor University, | ||
where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in journalism in 1988; | ||
she went on to work as a news editor for the Austin | ||
American-Statesman from 1991 to 1998, when she was hired as | ||

Drug Abuse; she continued her state service when she was tapped for | ||
the position of assistant press secretary in the Governor's Office | ||
three years later; and | ||
WHEREAS, In October 2003, Ms. Goodman was named | ||
communications director for the Texas Health and Human Services | ||

communications strategy for the state's five-agency health and | ||
human services system; following more than a decade in that role, | ||
she was appointed to her most recent post as deputy commissioner for | ||
public affairs for the Texas Department of Insurance, and she | ||
dedicated herself to streamlining the agency's communications and | ||
making complex issues more understandable; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all her endeavors, Ms. Goodman has enjoyed the | ||
love and support of her husband, Art Moore, and her children, Ryan | ||
and Sarah; an avid fan of the Baylor Bears, she was delighted to | ||
receive a video message from the university's men's basketball | ||
coach, Scott Drew, congratulating her on her retirement; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through her skill, dedication, and professionalism, | ||
Stephanie Goodman earned the respect and admiration of her | ||
colleagues, and she may indeed take pride in knowing that her | ||
contributions made her an important asset to the agencies she | ||
served; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Stephanie | ||
Goodman on her retirement and extend to her sincere appreciation | ||
for her many years of service to the State of Texas; and, be it | ||
further | ||
