  Mr. WEBSTER. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize the Hispanic 
Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando for recently being named the 2012 
Hispanic Chamber of the Year by the United States Hispanic Chamber of 
Commerce. Since 1993, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando 
has been dedicated to their mission of providing leadership and support 
to the Hispanic business community in Central Florida.
  The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando is a non-profit 
organization representing over 1,200 members and serving Hispanic 
business owners and enterprises across Central Florida. Among the 200 
members of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce that were 
eligible for nomination and honor, the national organization presented 
the award to the Metro Orlando Chamber on the basis of their 
outstanding leadership, accomplishments and quality of service to 
enhance the economic development of Central Florida's Hispanic business 
community. This national honor is awarded annually to one Hispanic 
Chamber of Commerce that has excelled at strengthening business 
excellence in their community.
  This is not the first time that the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of 
Metro Orlando has been recognized for their commitment to serving 
Hispanic enterprises across Central Florida. The Metro Orlando Chamber 
has been chosen and honored seven prior times by the National Chamber 
for their standards of excellence to support, promote and strengthen 
the Hispanic business community.
  The excellence with which the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro 
Orlando serves Central Florida's Hispanic business community and 
enterprises is evident from their many recognitions. I am pleased to 
congratulate them on being named the 2012 Hispanic Chamber of the Year.
