  Mr. FILNER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hugh Hazelwood, 
the Vice President of New Business Development for LIBERTY Dental Plan 
located in Irvine, California. Together with his wife, Marsha, they 
strive to provide quality union negotiated benefits to union members 
throughout California and Nevada.
  Liberty Dental Plan is currently 700,000 members strong and employs 
union members to take care of their brothers and sisters concerns and 
needs.
  Hugh started his working career at a very young age in the family 
business in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Hugh learned early on that success 
is equated to giving back to worthwhile charities and the community and 
dedication to his employer.
  Hugh's past volunteer endeavors have included The Association for the 
Research of Childhood Cancer, The Leukemia Society, and various food 
banks. He currently serves as a Vice President on the Board of 
Directors for Guide Dogs of America.
  Marsha and Hugh were married on Valentine's Day in 1998, and enjoy 
working together. Liberty Dental Plan allows them the time and 
resources to give back to the community.
  For his many years of dedicated service to the organized labor 
movement and to our community, I am pleased in joining others to honor 
Hugh Hazelwood as the Fellowship Honoree at the 28th Annual John S. 
Lyons Memorial Banquet in San Diego on September 11, 2010.
