|
|
WHEREAS, The HHCC is the leading advocate in the region for |
|
|
the economic and civic interests of the Hispanic business |

|
WHEREAS, Reflecting the dramatic growth of the city's |
|
|
Hispanic population, which has doubled since 1990, the chamber's |

|
membership has also increased spectacularly, rising from 500 to |
|
|
2,800 members over the past two years; in keeping with its |
|
|
burgeoning strength, the organization has recently relocated to a |
|
|
new building in downtown Houston; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The chamber's annual Health Summit and Business Expo |
|
|
enables individual members and companies to come together in a |
|
|
dynamic setting to exchange information and insights, to showcase |
|
|
their products and services, and to forge new relationships and |
|
|
renew old ones; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Contributing to the growth of Houston even during |
|
|
difficult times, the HHCC's annual Health Summit and Business Expo |
|
|
is a highlight of the Bayou City's business calendar and truly |
|
|
worthy of recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the second annual Health Summit and |
|
|
Business Expo of the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and |
|
|
extend to the chamber and the expo's sponsors and attendees sincere |
|
|
best wishes for an exciting and informative event; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as an |
|
|
expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
