  Mr. TROTT. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate City Clerk 
Terri Kowal of Auburn Hills, Michigan, as she receives the prestigious 
Quill Award from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.

clerks across the United States and Canada. With this achievement, 
Kowal is proclaimed an international champion of her craft.
  Having dedicated her life to helping the City of Auburn Hills and her 
community, Kowal has built her career on serving others. Understanding 
the responsibility and ethics required to be a municipal clerk, she did 
not waver in taking on this important task and great responsibility in 
service of her fellow citizens.

the needs of the community before her own.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations 
to Terri Kowal as she receives this extraordinary honor and is
