  Ms. ESTY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Frank 
Monteiro, the Chief Operating Officer of MacDermid Performance 
Solutions and a true leader in the Waterbury, Connecticut community. 
Today, the Waterbury Regional Chamber is honoring Frank with the 2017 
Malcolm Baldrige Community Award for his success at MacDermid and his 
commitment to the City of Waterbury.
  A Waterbury native, Frank has been with MacDermid for nearly two 
decades. During Frank's time with MacDermid, he has helped guide the 
company through substantial transitions for the business and the local 
economy. Frank has been a champion for expanding the company's presence 
in Waterbury, working to protect 200 jobs at the research and 
development center and encouraging the company to expand its workforce 
in our town. He has served as COO of Performance Solutions since 2015.
  In addition to his leadership in local business, Frank has dedicated 
his time and expertise to support important causes in his community. He 
works with the Waterbury Regional Chamber's professional development 
program and is an active supporter of Multiple Sclerosis research and 
the Greater Waterbury Campership Fund. Frank also serves on the boards 
of a number of local groups including the Waterbury Sportsmen's Club, 
the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, the Naugatuck Valley Community 
College, and the United Way of Greater Waterbury.
  Mr. Speaker, Frank Monteiro has been an instrumental leader in our 
Waterbury community, both as a leader of MacDermid Performance 
Solutions and a champion for our local economy. Therefore, it is 
fitting and proper that we honor him here today and congratulate him on 
this well-deserved award.
