The resolution honors Karla Yvette Sierra from El Paso for receiving the prestigious John F. Kennedy Service Award from the Peace Corps in May 2022. This award is granted every five years to a select group of Peace Corps volunteers and staff who have made significant contributions beyond their official duties. Ms. Sierra served as a community economic development volunteer in Panama from 2010 to 2012 and continued her work there as a consultant, where she established partnerships aimed at reducing poverty and increasing awareness of HIV and AIDS.

Currently, Ms. Sierra is the engagement director at LIBRE, an advocacy organization in El Paso, focusing on enhancing financial literacy and promoting civic engagement within the Hispanic community. She holds an MBA from The University of Texas at El Paso. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' congratulations to Ms. Sierra for her achievements and contributions, and it calls for an official copy of the resolution to be prepared for her as a token of high regard.
