                      Thursday, November 17, 2016

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Mrs. Juanita C. Hayes for 
her years of service to the communities of the greater San Diego area.
   Mrs. Hayes is a vital member of our local societies and is well-
known in the public relations sector of San Diego. Prior to working at 
the San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), she owned a consulting 
business for eighteen years. With her own company, she helped to 
coordinate successful, high profile events such as the 1985 
Presidential/Vice Presidential Inaugural Gala, the 1996 Atlanta 
Olympics, San Diego's Super Bowl XXXII Radio City Productions, and the 
National Republican Conventions of 1988, 1992, and 1996. Mrs. Hayes 
additionally dedicated time in public service as the Chief of Staff to 
former California State Assemblywoman Tricia Hunter.
   In addition to her success in private enterprises, Mrs. Hayes has 
provided decades of mentorship to nonprofit organizations, civic 
groups, and other small business owners in the San Diego region. She 
has held crucial community leadership positions, such as the Chief 
Executive Officer of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, where 
membership grew by over one hundred businesses during her tenure. As 
she joined SDG&E in 2005, she also became the Director of Outreach and 
Development for the College of Business Administration at the 
California State University San Marcos.
   Mrs. Hayes has spent the last eleven years with SDG&E, focusing on 
critical infrastructure and energy programs to maintain reliability for 
the thousands of customers it supplies. Now retiring as Public Affairs 
Manager, I commend Mrs. Juanita C. Hayes for her decades of service to 
the community, and send best wishes to her and her husband, Dr. Ash 
Hayes, as they enjoy her new retirement in San Marcos, California.
