  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Faye Griffin for receiving the Jefferson County 2015 Hall of Fame Award 
from the West Chamber.
   The Hall of Fame Award recognizes outstanding individuals who have 
had significant, long-lasting impacts through their leadership and 
contributions to Jefferson County's economy, community and legacy.
   Faye Griffin started her forty year career in Jefferson County 
working in the County Clerk & Recorder office for 24 years. Eventually 
serving as Chief Deputy of the department, Faye helped modernize 
technology and coordinated successful general and primary elections. In 
2006, Faye was elected Treasurer

and served in this capacity until 2008 when she was nominated to the 
Board of County Commissioners.
   In her six years on the Board of County Commissioners, Jefferson 
County reached a balanced budget every year and earned extraordinary 
financial ratings from several national rating organizations. As a 
Commissioner, she helped bring attention to Human Services programs to 
aid children and families in need and amended the Zoning Resolution to 
simplify the zoning application process.
   Currently, Faye serves as Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder. She 
is also involved in the Child and Youth Leadership Commission, the 
Jefferson County Head Start Policy Council, the Rocky Flats Stewardship 
Council, and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District Board. In 
2012, Faye was honored as an Outstanding Woman of Jefferson County.
   Congratulations to Faye Griffin for this well-deserved honor by the 
West Chamber. I am grateful for her contributions to Jefferson County.
