  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Jill Fellman for 
receiving the West Chamber's 2015 Celebrate Women Award. This award 
celebrates local women leaders with drive, perseverance and service to 
their community.
   As a Jefferson County native, Jill attended Jefferson County schools 
and then became an educator in the Jefferson County public school 
system for 30 years. After retiring from her education career, Jill 
served as an elected member of the Jefferson County School Board of 
Education from November 2011 to November 2015.
   Currently, she is a member of the Jefferson County Schools 
Foundation Board, the Audit Committee, the Wheat Ridge Education 
Alliance, and the City of Arvada Coordinating Council. She also serves 
as Secretary for the Arvada Community Food Bank board and is Vice Chair 
for the Sooper Credit Union Foundation board. With her endless amount 
of energy and passion for first rate public education, she also serves 
on the board of Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth and is 
an Edgewater Collective community partner.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Jill Fellman for receiving 
the 2015 Celebrate Women Award. Thank you for your leadership and 
service to the community.
