HONORING ROSE CONRY FOR RECEIVING THE 2014 OVERALL JAX CHAMBER'S SMALL 
                     BUSINESS LEADER OF YEAR AWARD

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ANDER CRENSHAW

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 14, 2014

  Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Rose Conry, 
the Chief Executive Officer of StaffTime on receiving the 2014 overall 
JAX Chamber's Small Business Leader of Year Award.
   StaffTime is a minority-owned staffing solutions company located in 
the 4th Congressional District of Florida. In addition to the Small 
Business Leader of the Year Award, StaffTime has also been named one of 
the 50 fastest growing companies of North Florida by the Jacksonville 
Business Journal. As historical high numbers of Americans are finding 
themselves unemployed for longer periods of time, I commend StaffTime 
for leading the temporary staffing industry and providing a full-
service approach, specializing in administrative, accounting, legal and 
customer service positions. Established only four short years ago, 
StaffTime has grown to a $2 million company employing four full-time 
employees with 20 consultants.
   Before becoming a small business owner, Conry worked in human 
resources for Jacksonville Surgery Center and CSX. She earned a 
bachelor's degree from Jacksonville University and is currently 
pursuing her master's degree in human resources at Webster University. 
She continues to be heavily involved in the community with memberships 
in the Society for Human Resource Management, Leadership Jacksonville, 
Women Business Owners of North Florida, and JAX Chamber.
   Small businesses are crucial to our nation's well being and the 
leaders who are paving the way during these difficult economic times 
need to be recognized. Conry's mission is helping connect individuals 
with meaningful employment; she is the American dream and she is 
helping others to live it as well.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask you and Members of the House to join me in this 
very special congressional salute to this Small Business leader, Rose 
Conry.
