  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, a thriving community can only be achieved 
when its members strive to better their surroundings. For several 
decades, the Riverdale neighborhood has benefitted from the hard work 
and dedication of Susan Goldy, one of the northwest Bronx's most 
respected citizens and my dear friend.
  Susan's work in Riverdale began in earnest in 1981 when she 
established her own agency, Susan E Goldy Inc., which specialized in 
the sale and rental of residential property. Her company immediately 
earned high marks for its professionalism, courtesy, integrity and 
reliability. As Susan's agency grew she began to enhance her 
involvement in other real estate related ventures, including the Bronx 
Manhattan North Association of Realtors, an organization which she 
served as President of in 1995 and 1996.
  Later, Susan became a member of the New York State Association of 
Realtors (NYSAR) serving on and chairing many committees within NYSAR 
focused on growing communities through real estate interests. Not 
surprisingly in 2012, Susan was elected President of NYSAR, an obvious 
reflection of her outstanding work ethic and accomplishments within the 
organization and beyond.
  Susan has been recognized over the years with numerous awards and 
honors from different community groups and organizations, including the 
YMCA, the Kingsbridge Riverdale Van Cortlandt Development Corporation 
and the New York State Legislature. She has also done a great deal of 
volunteerism in this community and beyond, working with the Red Cross 
and Habitat for Humanity to help those who were impacted by Hurricanes 
Katrina and Sandy.
  Susan moved to Riverdale in 1972 to raise her children, Jason and 
Lauren. The entire Riverdale community is fortunate that she did. I 
have known Susan for many years and I absolutely treasure the 
friendship we have developed over that time.
  In 2014, the Riverdale Neighborhood House honored Susan at their 
annual benefit, and they could not have found a more deserving honoree. 
Congratulations, Susan, on this honor!
