                         Tuesday, March 4, 2014

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Mayor Steve Burkholder for receiving the first annual Steve Burkholder 
Diamond Legacy Award from the West Chamber serving Jefferson County.
   The award is given to an individual who is recognized as a ``shining 
star'' due to their leadership and contributions in making Jefferson 
County a better place to reside.
   Mayor Burkholder spent his adult life contributing to the betterment 
of Jefferson County and their residents. Steve's accomplishments are 
many. They include serving as past President of the Colorado Municipal 
League, a member of the Metro Mayors Executive Committee and serving as 
fellow of the Institute on the Common Good at Regis University.
   Steve's latest quest is making sure every two and three year old 
from high risk or vulnerable families are preschool ready through the 
Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP). Steve is a founding member of the 
PCHP Jeffco Advisory Group. Their mission is to positively impact 
school readiness and long term learning.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Mayor Steve Burkholder for 
this well-deserved honor from the West Chamber serving Jefferson 
County. I have no doubt Mayor Burkholders's commitment to community 
will be felt by Jefferson County residents for years to come.
