                        Wednesday, June 24, 2015

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Arapahoe/
Douglas Works! (ADW). ADW was selected as the NAWB 2015 WIB Excellence 
Award Winner and was recognized during the 2015 NAWB Forum in 
Washington, D.C.
  The WIB Excellence Award honors workforce investment boards that have 
demonstrated an ongoing ability to develop comprehensive workforce 
solutions and innovations for its community by creating proactive 
program initiatives, engaging businesses, diversifying funding, and 
ensuring accountability. Not only did ADW fulfill and exceed its 
Workforce Investment Act responsibilities, but it has continuously 
demonstrated its dedication and leadership in promoting workforce 
development strategies.
  By developing partnerships and initiatives that serve the entire 
community, ADW has proven to be a critical resource to southeastern 
Colorado. I am proud to hold my annual Relevant Job Skills Seminar in 
conjunction with ADW to better prepare those looking for jobs.
  Mr. Speaker, Arapahoe/Douglas Works! is a testament to how public 
service can help build a community and I am honored to represent them 
in Congress.
