	Lone Star State and beyond; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Davis graduated from The University of Texas
	College of Pharmacy in 1970; throughout his career, he worked with

	when he began serving as director of public affairs of the Texas
	Pharmacy Association; he was later tapped to lead the Kentucky

	position in 1990; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Society of Health-System Pharmacists
	named Mr. Davis as its executive director in 2003; over the next
	decade, the organization continued to grow under his direction and
	expanded its scope to include executive management services for
	related associations; through that initiative, he also became
	executive director of the New Mexico Society of Health-System
	Pharmacists, a post he held until his retirement; and
	WHEREAS, At every organization that he led, Mr. Davis
	promoted the development of new services and programs and worked to
	increase membership and revenue; this esteemed Texan has received
	several honors for his efforts, including the TPA Leadership Award,
	the TSHP Distinguished Service Award, and the UT College of
	Pharmacy William J. Sheffield Outstanding Alumnus Award;
	additionally, he has been active with the Texas Society of
	Association Executives, the American Pharmacists Association, and
	Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity, among other industry-related
	organizations; and
	WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Davis enjoys the love and
	support of his wife of more than 45 years, Beth, and their three
	children and three grandchildren; and
	WHEREAS, Paul Davis's dedication, professionalism, and
	commitment to excellence have greatly benefited his fellow Texans,
	and he may indeed reflect with pride on a career well spent and on
	the high esteem that he earned from his peers; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Paul F. Davis on his retirement
	from the Texas Society of Health-System Pharmacists and extend to
	him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. Davis as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
