serving businesses in the infrastructure construction industry,

marked the 100th anniversary of its founding on December 11, 2024;

and

WHEREAS, In November 1924, a group of Texas contractors met

at the St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio to begin developing the

framework for an organization committed to advocating in behalf of

general contractors and meeting the state's growing public

infrastructure needs; on December 11 of that year, a charter for the

group was granted by the Associated General Contractors of America,

ushering in a new era of growth and success for the highway and

plants; throughout its existence, the organization has tirelessly

advocated for the funding of the state highway system, promoted

workplace safety, and championed the core values of skill,

integrity, and responsibility among contractors, suppliers, and

industry professionals doing business in Texas; under the able

leadership of chief executive officer Jennifer Woodard, the group

strives to be a driving force in shaping the future of public

infrastructure in Texas, contributing to the continued economic

vitality of the state; and

WHEREAS, Thanks to the dedication of its engaged membership,

the Associated General Contractors of Texas continues to flourish

as one of the longest-standing trade groups in the Lone Star State,

and it is a privilege to honor the organization as it commemorates a

century of excellence; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas

Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of the

Associated General Contractors of Texas Highway, Heavy, Utilities,

and Industrial Branch and extend to all those affiliated with the

organization sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it

further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be

prepared for the group as an expression of high regard by the Texas

House of Representatives.
