ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION--Commending the Speakers pro Tempore of the 68th session of the Nevada Legislature for their service. WHEREAS, It is customary that the members of the Assembly elect a Speaker pro Tempore to preside in the temporary absence of the Speaker and serve as a part of the leadership of the Assembly; and WHEREAS, The equal division between the parties this session led to a unique sharing of leadership responsibilities and the election of two women to serve as Speakers pro Tempore; and WHEREAS, Jan Evans and Sandra Tiffany each brought to the office a refreshing perspective to complement the traditional notions of legislative leadership; and WHEREAS, Their individual service at the podium when presiding over the Assembly was efficient and effective, even when they served at a moment's notice; and WHEREAS, The importance of their additional contributions to the legislative process is not diminished by the fact that much of the work done by these strong leaders was accomplished quietly and without public recognition; and WHEREAS, The strength, compassion and commitment of these two Assemblywomen to the legislative process and the residents of this state must be recognized and commended; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, That the members of the Assembly of the 68th session of the Nevada Legislature commend and extend their sincere thanks to Jan Evans and Sandra Tiffany for their dedicated and effective service as Speakers pro Tempore; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Jan Evans and Sandra Tiffany. -30-
