                      Wednesday, December 7, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud Anne Burkholder 
for being recognized by the West Chamber as a 2016 Celebrate Women 
Honoree. Celebrate Women Honorees are known for their perseverance, 
accomplishments, generosity, and dedication to their passions and their 
community.
   Anne Burkholder has served the Jefferson County community for more 
than 50 years. Her passion for education began in Seattle as the 
daughter of two university educators. While in high school, she had the 
opportunity to visit 15 countries, spawning an international awareness 
and deepening her appreciation of the freedoms afforded by U.S. 
citizenship. After completing her degree at CU Boulder, Anne settled 
into Jefferson County with her husband, Steve.
   Anne has improved the community as a teacher, tutor, sponsor and 
leader, and she currently serves on the boards of the Jeffco Schools 
Foundation and the American Association of University Women, Lakewood 
Branch. Five years ago, Anne co-founded the Parent-Child Home Program 
Jeffco, which just successfully completed its three-year pilot program.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Anne Burkholder for this 
well-deserved recognition by the West Chamber.
