                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 22, 2011

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Pinnacle 
Technical Resources, Inc. on its fifteenth anniversary this year.
  Located in Dallas, Texas, Pinnacle was born in a living room and 
quickly matured into an award-winning information technology staffing 
company. Under the leadership and vision of Chief Executive Officer 
Nina Vaca-Humrichouse, Pinnacle expanded nationwide and created over 
20,000 jobs, consequently ranking six straight years as one of the 
fastest growing companies in its industry. In 2009, Pinnacle received 
the CIO 100 Award for its development of PROGATA, a proprietary 
industry-leading software tool.
  Beyond their financial success, Pinnacle emphasizes social 
responsibility and actively encourages employees to contribute to the 
local community. Boy Scouts of America, United Way, Habitat for 
Humanity, and the Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce 
Foundation are among the many nonprofit organizations Pinnacle 
supports. This year, Pinnacle also provided scholarships to thirty-two 
high school students to attend the Dallas Hispanic Youth Institute, a 
well-regarded summer symposium.
  Pinnacle Technical Resources embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of 
America; a concept with humble beginnings that transformed into a fast-
growing and nationally recognized company. Mr. Speaker, I ask my 
esteemed colleagues to join me in congratulating the staff and 
leadership of Pinnacle Technical Resources as they celebrate fifteen 
years of success.
