                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. MADELEINE Z. BORDALLO

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 26, 2011

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Daniel G. 
Moffat, former President and Chief Executive Officer of GTA TeleGuam, 
and commend him on his contributions to transforming the Guam Telephone 
Authority from a government operation to an effective, successful and 
thriving telecommunications enterprise on Guam.
  Dan Moffat became the President and Chief Executive Officer of GTA 
TeleGuam in January 2007. He arrived on Guam when GTA TeleGuam was in 
the process of transforming from a government owned and operated 
telephone system to a privately owned communications service in a 
rapidly developing and competitive market.
  Utilizing twenty five years of experience in the telecommunications 
industry, Dan guided GTA TeleGuam in recruiting, training and 
developing a highly motivated team using local talent. He improved 
Guam's telephone services, and developed high speed broadband Internet 
access and wireless systems. He brought emerging technologies to our 
island and built a world class communications infrastructure serving 
our region. Dan's leadership and spirit of entrepreneurship brought the 
latest innovative products and services to his customers. His efforts 
and contributions in telecommunications transformed services on Guam 
with digital technology. Under his leadership, many opportunities were 
realized for the people of Guam in international communications and 
networking.
  Dan Moffat promoted Chamorro values as part of GTA TeleGuam's 
corporate culture. He challenged his management team to incorporate the 
principles of local values and traditions in GTA's business practices. 
He became

a part of our island family and he ensured that GTA TeleGuam employees 
gave back to our community through public service. GTA TeleGuam 
participated in many community causes such as the Relay for Life, 
Strides for a Cure, the American Cancer Society, the Make-a-Wish 
Foundation, the United Service Organization (USO), the American Red 
Cross, the UOG Endowment Foundation, the Salvation Army, Habitat for 
Humanity, the Guam Special Olympics, the Guam Humanities Council, and 
many other events supporting non-profits on Guam.
  The people of Guam will miss a community leader, businessman, and 
friend. The continuing success of GTA TeleGuam will always be a 
reminder of Dan's leadership and vision. I wish Dan, his wife Jane, and 
his family the very best on their departure from Guam, and I join the 
people of Guam in commending him for his service to our community.
