WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to honor those endur-

the quality and dignity of life of those they serve, to preserving their
heritage, and to fostering pride among them; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
the Young, Gifted & Black Entrepreneurial Program upon the occasion of
hosting its 7th Annual Award Ceremony on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, in New
York City, New York; and
WHEREAS, The Young, Gifted & Black (YGB) Entrepreneurial Awards
Program is designed for peer-to-peer acknowledgement of one another's
talents, ambition and achievements toward their shared pursuit of
success; and
WHEREAS, The intent of the awards is to acknowledge those illustrious
individuals whose journey towards success can motivate, inspire, and
empower others by highlighting the paths each honoree has taken through-
out his or her life; and
WHEREAS, This year, the YGB Entrepreneurial Program will acknowledge
and present an award to the Honorable Damion Crawford, Minister of Tour-
ism and Entertainment, Jamaica, Wisconsin, who will also be their 2012
keynote speaker; and
WHEREAS, In addition, this year's program will pay tribute and show-
case key Jamaicans in business for the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's
independence celebration; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those organiza-
tions that give positive definition to the profile and disposition of
the communities of the State of New York, do so profoundly strengthen
our shared commitment to the exercise of freedom; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the Young, Gifted & Black Entrepreneurial Program upon the occa-
sion of hosting its 7th Annual Award Ceremony on June 6, 2012; and be it
