  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Jim Proce on 
earning the American Public Works Association Public Works Leader 
Award.
  Each year the American Public Works Association recognizes 10 
outstanding individuals who have made an indelible mark on their 
communities through their commitment to public service. This year, I 
have the distinct honor of representing one of the recipients, Jim 
Proce, the Assistant City Manager of Rowlett.
  Jim's commitment to his community and dedication to service has not 
gone unnoticed throughout his 32 years of service. During his career, 
he has earned many honors and awards including the National Community 
Involvement Award by the American Public Works Association, was named 
the State Public Works Employee of the Year by FACERS in 2010, is a 
Designated Public Works Leadership Fellow by the Donald C. Stone Center 
for Leadership through the American Public Works Association, and is a 
member of the International City Management Association.
  In his role as Assistant City Manager of Rowlett, Jim has excelled as 
a community leader and worked to implement strategic goals to 
strengthen the city and best serve the citizens of Rowlett. Throughout 
Jim's years of service he has displayed an unwavering commitment to 
community and proved to be a distinguished leader in all of his 
endeavors.
  I would like to offer Jim my heartiest congratulations on this 
immense accomplishment and thank him for his dedication to serving the 
great people of Rowlett, Texas
