                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Michelle Claymore for her outstanding service and commitment to our 
community.
  Michelle Claymore's enthusiasm for Jefferson County's economic 
vitality is both evident and contagious. She helped set in motion the 
AddOne campaign, improving the economy one job at a time, and has 
attracted, expanded and retained employment through her role as the 
Vice President of the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation 
for the past 18 years. Michelle's innovative business incentive 
structure was instrumental in attracting the Coleman Company's 
corporate headquarters to relocate to Jefferson County in 2011. 
Understanding the importance of professional development, she started 
and runs the first nationally accredited economic development training 
program in Colorado. The program has trained over 200 students so far. 
Her passion for the county, its businesses and its citizens knows no 
bounds.

  I extend my deepest congratulations to Michelle Claymore for her well 
deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
