            RECOGNIZING IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE SOUTHEAST

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 11, 2013

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions 
of Ivy Tech Community College Southeast to the success of the 6th 
District Job Fair.
  On October 21, 2013, over 150 job seekers from across the district 
met with 36 businesses looking to hire new employees. In a time when 
jobs are still hard to come by these job fairs are an important tool in 
linking job seekers with perspective employers. I am proud we were able 
to bring community leaders together and provide this service to the 
people of the 6th District.
  The job fair would not have been the success it was without the help 
of Ivy Tech Community College Southeast. I want to recognize the work 
of Shakira Grubbs, Tim Buehler, Daniel Smith, and Chancellor Jim Helms. 
Their efforts in hosting the job fair show a deep commitment to their 
community and the economic health of Southeastern Indiana.
  I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in recognizing 
Ivy Tech Community College Southeast. I look forward to working with 
them in the future as we strive to serve the people of Southeastern 
Indiana.
