   CONGRATULATING ROGERS-LOWELL CHAMBER FOR RECEIVING FIVE-STAR U.S. 
                             ACCREDITATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN BOOZMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 28, 2010

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Rogers-
Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce for receiving a five-star accreditation 
from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. There are 66 chambers in the country 
to hold this honor and it is the only chamber in Arkansas to earn this 
recognition, the U.S. Chamber's highest accreditation.
  The chamber goes through accreditation every five years. This 
measures achievement and shows how to reach and maintain industry 
standards. Accreditation also provides a path to building effective 
chambers and helps chambers effectively fight for business. The chamber 
received a perfect score on five of the nine sections of the review.
  The Rogers-Lowell chamber received this award five years ago and is a 
great example for the state and the country. This honor truly reflects 
the chamber's enthusiasm and dedication to working on behalf of the 
Arkansas business community.
  This is an honor in which few receive. I am very proud of the Rogers-
Lowell Area Chamber for this accomplishment. I am confident the good 
work will continue and I look forward to celebrating and recognizing 
its future successes.

                          ____________________
