  Mr. GOSAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and bring attention 
to an outstanding individual who has come to the United States and 
demonstrated that the American Dream is still alive and waiting for 
those who are willing to strive for it and are committed to achieving 
it.
   Shen-Yi Michelle Chang, now residing in Phoenix, Arizona, has shown 
the grit and resolve that has so long been a staple of American 
pioneers across this country. She founded her own real estate firm and 
has excelled at real estate development and sales. In so doing, she has 
helped countless others achieve their dream of home ownership, a 
cornerstone of the American Dream. Her dynamic office is a mainstay of 
the community and employs Arizonans from diverse backgrounds.
   Her peers have recognized her hard work and talent. Soon, Ms. Chang 
will be installed

as the 2017 President of the Arizona State Women's Council of Realtors 
(WCR) and she will be the first Asian American to take office in its 78 
year history. A woman dedicated to public service and the well-being of 
others, Ms. Chang serves on multiple commissions for the City of 
Chandler, Arizona. She has founded and runs numerous non-profits and 
even works in support of the local Little League team.
   It is an honor to recognize her hard work, diligence and 
determination. I congratulate Ms. Chang on behalf of the members of 
Congress and thank her for showing all of us what self-reliance and 
motivation can achieve and how such success can benefit one's 
community.
