R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Alamo Colleges District in San Antonio has been
named a 2024 recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality
Award; and
WHEREAS, Named for Malcolm Baldrige, the 26th U.S. secretary
of commerce, this prestigious award is the nation's highest level
of recognition that an organization can receive for performance
excellence; it was established in 1987 by Congress to enhance the
competitiveness and performance of U.S. businesses and was
redesigned in 2024 to focus on organizational resilience; the only
educational institution in the country to earn the distinction for
2024, ACD previously received the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality
Award in 2018; and
WHEREAS, Founded in 1945, the Alamo Colleges District is one
of the largest community college systems in the nation, employing
nearly 5,600 people and serving more than 100,000 students; the
district encompasses five campuses, Northeast Lakeview College,
Northwest Vista College, Palo Alto College, St. Philip's College,
and San Antonio College, as well as several education and training
centers; currently led by Chancellor Dr. Mike Flores, the district
seeks to foster economic and social mobility and to meet workforce
demands through affordable or tuition-free education; and
WHEREAS, ACD has launched a number of successful programs
designed to improve student outcomes, such as AlamoPROMISE, which
covers the difference between financial aid and the overall cost of
tuition and books, and AlamoADVISE, which provides personalized
advising and resources with a special focus on supporting
nontraditional students and those dealing with economic or academic
disadvantages; the institution has maintained high course
completion and productive grade rates, and it has seen increased
employee and student satisfaction in recent years; and
WHEREAS, The Alamo Colleges District has served as a gateway
to opportunity for generations of Texans over the past eight
decades, and its receipt of this well-deserved honor is a testament
to the ongoing dedication of its faculty, students, and staff; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Alamo Colleges District on its
receipt of a 2024 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and
extend to all those associated with the district sincere best
wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Alamo Colleges District as an expression of high
regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
