                      Thursday, November 19, 2015

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize MaryAnn Proctor for 
receiving the West Chamber's 2015 Celebrate Women Award. This award 
celebrates local women leaders with drive, perseverance and service to 
their community.
   Whether it was tutoring second graders through the Bring up Grades 
(BUGS) program or volunteering at the Tennyson Center for abused 
children, MaryAnn lived to help others. On a daily basis, she oversaw 
the complex operations of Propp Realty leading the staff and making 
business connections, not only from tenant to tenant, but with every 
person she met. She insisted on quality work, respect among coworkers, 
and encouraged potential leaders to conduct business fairly and 
professionally.
   She served as a board member for the West Chamber, President-elect 
for Lakewood Kiwanis, a volunteer at ARC, The Action Center and 
Lakewood High School Key Club. Additionally, she served on several City 
of Lakewood committees and belonged to the West Colfax Business 
District. MaryAnn unexpectedly passed away at the end of 2014, leaving 
behind a tremendous legacy.
   Thank you for recognizing MaryAnn Proctor with the 2015 Celebrate 
Women Award. Her leadership and service to the community will forever 
be remembered.
