Whereas, BILL MYERS is a quintessential "hero of the people" who has attained a national and international reputation as a visionary leader in economic justice and empowerment, having co-founded the Alternatives Federal Credit Union twenty-eight years ago, because he cared about those struggling to put a solid economic foundation under their lives, and so led this important institution in providing education and cpatial for small business, for home onwership, and for a college education, among other critical investments, for thousands of Tompkins County residents; and
Whereas, BILL MYERS is being justly honored on the occasion of his much-deserved retirment by this entire community, and many beyond our borders; now therefore be it
Resolved, that the New York State Assembly, by its member, the Honorable Barbara S. Lifton, does hereby recognize
BILL MYERS
as an outstanding citizen, worthy of the esteem of his entire community and the great State of New York
