FULL TEXT:
WHEREAS, The House of Representatives of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Annie Uribe Turner, who has been selected for induction on March 21, 2015, into the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame for her outstanding work in leadership in business and finance; and WHEREAS, Since 1984, the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame annually honors those women who have contributed significantly to the San Antonio community and the Bexar County region through their accomplishments in their profession or field of service; and WHEREAS, Over the course of over 33 years in banking, Annie Uribe Turner has enjoyed a career that has allowed her to change the perception that banking was merely a man's profession into one profession where women are an integral part of the financial world; and WHEREAS, Starting at a small local bank in Laredo, she has risen to become Vice President, Wells Fargo Bank, acting as a manager of lender assisting small and growing businesses in the community; and WHEREAS, Annie Uribe Turner's statement regarding the progress of women in the area of business and finance sums up the attributes that make her worthy for induction into the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame: "When I began in business banking, there was not a single female commercial lender and certainly no female commercial lending managers. Today at Wells Fargo San Antonio/Hill Country, over 30 percent of our lenders are female. I'm thankful to work in an environment where women feel valued for their individual traits, skills and talents"; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the State of Texas, 84th Legislature, hereby commend Annie Uribe Turner for her exceptional achievements and extend congratulations to her on her induction into the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for her as an expression of high regard and esteem by the Texas House of Representatives. Martinez Fischer Speaker of the House I certify that H.R. No. 1330 was adopted by the House on March 18, 2015, by a non-record vote. Chief Clerk of the House
