WHEREAS, Desma Holcomb and Howard Wallace each served with great distinction as the first national Co-Chairs of Pride at Work, offices which were at first undefined and often little appreciated; and

WHEREAS, their performance in those positions served to set the course for the further development of the new organization, and that without their leadership Pride at Work would be not nearly the organization that it is today, and that our second national Conference would not have been the success that it surely was;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Conference appreciates their heroic efforts during their term of office; and hereby designates them as National Steering Committee members, ex officio, by virtue of their terms as previous national Co-Chairs.
