WHEREAS, Texas State Parks was recognized with the | ||
National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation | ||
Management by the American Academy for Park and Recreation | ||
Administration on October 11, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since 1965, the Gold Medal Awards program has | ||
honored park and recreation agencies across the United States | ||
that demonstrate excellence in their work; organizations are | ||
judged on their ability to address the needs of the public they | ||
serve and on the basis of such criteria as long-range planning, | ||
resource management, environmental stewardship, and program | ||
development; and | ||
WHEREAS, This coveted recognition is made all the more | ||
meaningful by the fact that it coincides with the 100th | ||
anniversary of the Texas State Parks system; the agency has | ||
excelled at preserving the natural beauty of the state parks, | ||
which are visited by more than nine million people annually, as | ||
well as through its efforts to increase accessibility and to | ||
invite new audiences to enjoy the parks; and | ||
WHEREAS, Texas' state parks system is a source of immense | ||
pride to the residents of the Lone Star State, and the | ||
outstanding reputation that it enjoys is further strengthened by | ||
its receipt of this prestigious national honor; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Texas State | ||
Parks on its receipt of the 2023 National Gold Medal Award for | ||
Excellence in Park and Recreation Management from the American | ||
Academy for Park and Recreation Administration and commend all | ||
those affiliated with Texas State Parks for their contributions; | ||
and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for Texas State Parks as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas Senate. | ||
