                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 6, 2017

  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to honor South 
Florida philanthropist, business leader and prominent attorney, Cliff 
Schulman.
  Mr. Schulman has 45 years of wide-ranging legal experience in the 
environmental and land use field from both the government and private 
sectors and is well known for his involvement in the community and 
commitment to charitable causes.
  For 13 years, he has served as Chair of the Board of the Aventura 
Marketing Council and it is on this occasion that we celebrate his 
retirement from this position.
  Under Mr. Schulman's leadership, the Aventura Marketing Council has 
thrived and grown to be recognized as one of the most respected 
organizations in Chambers of Commerce representing more than 400 
businesses and non-profit organizations, supporting countless 
educational and regional events in South Florida.
  Cliff had the unique ability to blend his sense of humor with his 
keen business acumen and Marketing Council members will certainly miss 
his ``Cliff's Notes'' at the opening of each meeting.
  Cliff has also served as Vice Chairman of the Anchors Away 
Foundation, an Aventura Marketing Council program in cooperation with 
Miami-Dade County Public Schools, that provides sailing programs for 
physically and mentally challenged children from schools throughout the 
County. This program has literally changed the lives of so many kids 
who gain a sense of pride, independence and accomplishment.
  Throughout his career, Mr. Schulman has been honored by the Anti-
Defamation League, South Florida Business Leader Magazine, the South 
Florida Shomrim Society and countless organizations that have 
recognized his contributions to bettering our community for all those 
who call South Florida home.
  I am proud to have Mr. Schulman and his wife Lauren as my 
constituents and am grateful for his years of dedication to Aventura 
and to South Florida.
  It is my honor to pay tribute to his distinguished career and extend 
my heartfelt congratulations to him on this occasion.
