                        HON. THEODORE E. DEUTCH

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 26, 2010

  Mr. DEUTCH. Madame Speaker, I am both honored and privileged to 
congratulate Commissioner Roy Gold as he begins his tenure as the 53rd 
President of the Broward League of Cities.
  This most recent achievement is one of many honors during 
Commissioner Gold's distinguished career in public service. The 
Commissioner has long been a leader in the Broward community, serving 
as a member of the Coral Springs City Commission since 2004, and Vice 
Mayor from March 2006 through November 2007. Commissioner Gold also 
serves as the Chair of the Florida Intergovernmental Financial 
Commission and as a member of both the Broward County Resource Recovery 
Board and the Broward County Oversight Committee.
  Beyond the City Commission, Commissioner Gold has dedicated his life 
to his family, a successful business career, and community and 
environmental activism. While serving as co-president and CEO of 
Cambridge Diagnostic Products, Inc., the commissioner has tirelessly 
worked to improve the community of Coral Springs. He is a founding 
member of the Coral Springs Neighborhood and Environmental Committee, a 
founding site leader for the Broward Waterway Cleanup, a founder of the 
Broward Adopt-a-Mile program, and a site leader for Broward County 
Adopt-a-Street. In addition to Commissioner Gold's environmental 
activism, he is currently a board member of the Coral Springs Charter 
School and the Coral Springs Museum of Art.
  Commissioner Gold's dedication to community activism in Coral Springs 
is a testament to his dedication to greater Broward County, and the 
Broward League of Cities will be well served to have him as their new 
President.
  I wish Commissioner Gold, his wife Janet, and his children Michael 
and Lauren congratulations and continued success.
