A RESOLUTION
Honoring the Ohio Provider Resource Association on its Fortieth Anniversary.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Ohio Provider Resource Association on the auspicious occasion of its Fortieth Anniversary; and

       WHEREAS,  Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a fitting tribute to the Ohio Provider Resource Association, for since its establishment in 1974, it has attained a remarkable record of service to the State of Ohio. The association supports, educates, and advocates for community-based service providers in an effort to protect the availability of services, programs, and funding to help individuals with developmental disabilities achieve a higher quality of productivity, independence, and integration. The accomplishments of the group are a justifiable source of pride and an outstanding reflection not only on OPRA itself but also on its astute management and hard-working staff, for these individuals have distinguished themselves as conscientious and hard-working Ohioans; and

       WHEREAS,  Due to the tremendous effort and initiative it has displayed, the Ohio Provider Resource Association has grown significantly during the last four decades, and this noteworthy organization is certainly deserving of high praise. This special anniversary offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the association's tradition of success and to look with optimism to the future; and

       WHEREAS,  We are certain that as the Ohio Provider Resource Association maintains its dedication to service, it will carry on the tradition of excellence that has long been its hallmark. We are proud to note that it is through the unceasing efforts of agencies such as OPRA that the State of Ohio continues to prosper and remains a pleasant place in which to live and work; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Ohio Provider Resource Association on its Fortieth Anniversary and extend best wishes for the years to come; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Ohio Provider Resource Association.
