                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 24, 1997

  Mr. RIGGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Sue Nelson, a resident 
of my hometown of Windsor, CA. She was just recently selected as the 
Windsor Chamber of Commerce's 1997 ``Business Person of the Year.'' The 
chamber made a very fitting selection.
  Sue is a businesswoman of 20 years and is currently the president of 
the Brelje & Race, Sonoma County's largest engineering company. In that 
capacity she has been a dynamic force in the chamber's activities, 
placing her and the company's support firmly behind virtually every 
chamber event over the last several years.
  She worked on the Windsor Map, the new town brochure put together 
with volunteers from the chamber. She also worked on the Windsor 
Festival.
  Her community work has not been limited to the beneficial work of the 
chamber: She is a member and past president of the Windsor Rotary Club, 
as well as a trustee of the Boys and Girls Club.
  It is the good work and dedicated community activism of individuals 
like Sue Nelson that builds and strengthens the communities in which 
our families and children live. I am particularly pleased that my 
hometown chamber of commerce has chosen such a deserving recipient for 
their annual honors. I offer my warm congratulations to Sue Nelson for 
a continuing job well done.
