career of more than 25 years with the State of Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Pena initially trained as a Texas Works advisor | ||

supervisor in December 2000; she later served as program manager in | ||
the department's Pharr office; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ms. Pena returned to Health and Human Services in | ||

distinction at the agency's regional headquarters in Edinburg; and | ||
WHEREAS, Cynthia Pena's skill, dedication, and | ||
professionalism have made her an important asset to the agencies | ||
she has served, and she may indeed reflect with pride on her | ||
contributions as she embarks on a well-deserved retirement; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Cynthia A. Pena on her retirement | ||
