                    PAYING TRIBUTE TO MARTIEY MILLER

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 8, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize Martiey 
Miller for her outstanding dedication to her Grand Junction, Colorado 
community. Her effort as general manager at Cumulus Broadcasting in 
Grand Junction has done much to ensure the high quality of radio 
programming that characterizes the network. As Martiey moves on in her 
accomplished career, I believe it is appropriate to acknowledge her 
service to her community before this body of Congress and this nation 
today.
  Martiey moved to Grand Junction nineteen years ago in order to be 
closer to family. She took a job as a receptionist at the local radio 
station and began her ascent through the ranks. Jumping at every 
opportunity, she took a position in sales, and then became the sales 
manager, before assuming the position of general manager at Cumulus 
Broadcasting in Grand Junction running KEKB and KOOL Radio. During her 
tenure at Cumulus Broadcasting she played an important role in turning 
a struggling company into a successful business.
  For Martiey's efforts and successes at the station, she has been 
recognized nationally. In 1994, she was named the outstanding radio 
sales manager by the Radio Advertising Bureau. Two years later, she was 
honored as the Colorado's Broadcast Citizen of the Year by the Colorado 
Broadcasters.
  Beyond her career, Martiey has been very active in the community. She 
previously held positions as the president of both the Kiwanis and 
Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce, as well as being a member of the 
JUCO committee and the Hilltop Board. Her most notable achievement in 
public service came as co-chair of the citizens' committee to pass a 
school bond issue and override the budget. Her efforts proved 
successful when the bond issue and budget override passed.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the success of Martiey 
Miller as a leader in the Grand Junction community. She is moving on to 
a new job in Minneapolis, but let it be known that she has left a great 
legacy of commitment and dedication to Grand Junction and the State of 
Colorado. I congratulate her on her new job and wish her continued 
success in her future endeavors.
