        CELEBRATING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF MR. ALBERTO CARRILLO

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 20, 2011

  Ms. ZOE LOFGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today along with 
Congressman Michael Honda to recognize the career and accomplishments 
of Mr. Alberto Carrillo, Sr., a dedicated employee of the Office of 
Human Relations of Santa Clara County.
  Prior to our election to the House of Representatives, Congressman 
Honda and I served on the Board of Supervisors for the County of Santa 
Clara and so we are well aware of the important work done by the 
County's Office of Human Relations. They work diligently with our 
extremely diverse community to build positive inter-group relations, to 
eliminate prejudice and discrimination and to foster the peaceful 
resolution of conflict.
  Alberto has worked tirelessly advocating for civil and human rights 
in our community. Both with the County and in his capacity as a 
community activist and volunteer, he has worked toward building 
opportunities in housing, employment, education, business and 
government for Santa Clara County's diverse community.
  His experiences outside of the County speak to his dedication. He 
began his career with the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce, held 
leadership positions in the Mexican-American Political Association, and 
has served on many nonprofit boards of directors and advisory boards.
  The Congress wishes Mr. Carrillo the very best as he continues this 
new chapter in his life in retirement.
