                      Thursday, December 11, 2014

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the City of 
Sugar Land Risk Manager Norma Martinez for receiving the 2014 Risk 
Professional of the Year award from the Public Risk Management 
Association Chapter of Texas.
  Martinez's innovative efforts have significantly lowered costs for 
the City of Sugar Land. As risk manager, Norma decreased the citywide 
worker's compensations cost by 62% over three years, decreased citywide 
auto liability costs by 64% over three years, decreased lost city time 
by 63% over five years, and decreased worker's compensation cost for 
the fire department by 91% over five years. It's clear that Norma 
delivers results.
  The City of Sugar Land is fortunate to have such a proactive leader 
in their Human Resources Department. On behalf of the residents of the 
Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, congratulations to Norma 
Martinez for receiving the 2014 Risk Professional of the Year award.
