                      Wednesday, December 7, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to applaud Pamela Nissler 
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.
   Pamela has been working to support and advance education in Colorado 
for more than 45 years. Currently, she serves as the Executive Director 
of Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL). Prior to that role, she has 
served as the Library Manager, Substitute Librarian, Director of 
Community Services, and Director of Library Programs. Pam's seven years 
at the JCPL have elevated the institution to new levels in terms of 
historical importance and educational value in the community.
   Pam is a member of both the American and Public Library 
Associations, as well as a past president of the Colorado Library 
Association. Pam's involvement in Jefferson County expands outside of 
the library as a member of the West Chamber Board of Directors and the 
Child and Youth Leadership Commission of Jefferson County. She has also 
served on community leadership associations throughout Douglas County 
and Highlands Ranch. Pam has a Bachelor's degree in Education and a 
Master's degree in Library Science.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Pamela Nissler for this well-
deserved recognition by the West Chamber.
