  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and 
congratulate Nesby and Associates in Renton, Washington for being named 
a finalist for the 2012 King County Executive's Small Business Awards, 
in the Minority Small Business of the Year category.
  Nesby and Associates is a development consulting firm that encourages 
consumers and companies to invest in diverse markets. The company 
succeeds by having a large clientele, ranging from the local to the 
national levels.
  The Minority Small Business of the Year award is only presented to 
extraordinary minority-owned businesses that have shown significant 
growth and contributions to the King County community. Currently, 13 
percent of the businesses in the King County region are minority-owned 
and Nesby and Associates and many others make tremendous contributions 
to the region's economic strength.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I honor Nesby and 
Associates. The firm proudly represents the growing numbers of 
minority-owned businesses in our community and throughout our nation.
