                        Tuesday, October 5, 2004

  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an individual whose 
dedication and contributions to the community of Riverside, California 
are exceptional. Riverside County has been fortunate to have dynamic 
and dedicated community leaders who willingly and unselfishly give 
their time and talent to making their communities a better place to 
live and work. Cindy Roth is one of these individuals.
  Cindy currently serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer 
of the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce. In this key position, 
Cindy has been instrumental in the development of Riverside's business 
community. She became the first woman to hold this post, and her 
leadership is a testament to her diligence and understanding of 
business management in Riverside.
  Additionally, Cindy serves as the President of the Southern 
California Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives and is a past 
board member of the Western Association of Chamber of Commerce 
Executives.
  Cindy's dedication is not only to local business, but also to the 
wider community. She serves as part of numerous organizations, 
including the Monday Morning Group of Western Riverside County, the 
Science and Technology Education Partnership, the Raincross Exchange 
Club, the Foundation Board of Trustees for La Sierra University, and 
the Honorary Commanders of March Field. She has received the 1996 
Community Service Award from the Rotary Club of Arlington, the 2000 
Athena of the Inland Valleys Award, and has been honored as the 2003 
Woman of the Year by Assemblyman John Benoit.
  It is no surprise that she is now honored as the 2004 Distinguished 
Citizen of the Inland Empire by the California Inland Empire Council, 
Boy Scouts of America. Cindy's tireless passion for community service 
has contributed immensely to the betterment of the community of 
Riverside. She has been the heart and soul of many community 
organizations and events and I am proud to call her a fellow community 
member, American and friend. I know that many in our community are 
grateful for her service and salute her as she receives this award.
