    RECOGNIZING THE HENDERSON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE'S 70TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today, I wish to recognize the 70th 
anniversary of an important entity to Southern Nevada, the Henderson 
Chamber of Commerce. I am proud to honor this chamber that contributes 
so much in support of local businesses and Henderson's economy and job 
market.
  Without a doubt, this city's businesses, both small and large, have a 
great impact on our State's growth. Through the dedication and hard 
work of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, Henderson's business 
community continues to strive and maintain a high quality of life for 
residents. Even when Nevada's economy took a difficult turn, the 
Henderson Chamber of Commerce intervened, fighting to help local 
businesses stay on their feet. It helped owners maneuver through an 
adverse economic climate with innovation, creativity, and ingenuity. To 
say this chamber has had a positive impact on Southern Nevada would be 
an understatement. The strong foundation it has built will be felt for 
years to come.
  Aside from helping local businesses expand and thrive, the Henderson 
Chamber of Commerce also offers entrepreneurs opportunities in 
networking, marketing, business development programs, ribbon cutting 
ceremonies, and career openings. The chamber has 7 members serving on 
the executive board and 16 others on the board of directors. I am 
thankful for their leadership and for the great things they are doing 
for businesses in Southern Nevada.
  For the past 70 years, the Henderson Chamber of Commerce has 
demonstrated absolute dedication to the great State of Nevada and to 
the Henderson business community. Without the hard work of those that 
have served this chamber, the city of Henderson would not have 
demonstrated the excellent growth that we see today. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring the Henderson Chamber of Commerce on 
its 70th anniversary and in thanking it for all it does to press on and 
find ways to make the Nevada business community the best it can 
be.
