WHEREAS, All those associated with the Akron Urban League are to be commended for their foresight, dedication, and selfless donations of time, energy, and ability far beyond what was required or expected. These fine people have earned the respect and admiration of many and their charitable efforts have set an example of concerned and responsible citizenship worthy of emulation; and

WHEREAS, Founded on the highest ideals of professionalism, the Akron Urban League has distinguished itself by its commitment to excellence. Throughout its history, it has maintained a reputation for integrity, innovation, collaboration, and devotion to service, and its impressive contributions to the community readily explain why it is so widely held in high esteem; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate the Akron Urban League on its Centennial and salute its staff and volunteers as outstanding Ohioans; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Akron Urban League.
