                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 2, 2017

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ben Rose on nearly 
a decade of service to North Carolina's 8th District as Cabarrus County 
Department of Social Services Director.
  Originally from Raleigh, Ben received his undergraduate degree in 
biology at Campbell University and went on to finish his Master's in 
social work at Tulane University. Since finishing school, he has 
applied his education to community service and helping those who need 
it most. Ben has been an integral part of helping me assist our shared 
constituents and provide them with the best services possible.
  Over the years, Ben has dedicated his life to furthering the state of 
North Carolina. He has served on the boards of the North Carolina 
Association of County Social Services Directors, Cabarrus County Mental 
Health Advisory, Cabarrus County Transportation Advisory, Cabarrus 
County Conflict Resolution and Teen Court, Cabarrus Literacy Council, 
and on the Advisory Board of the State Employees Credit Union. As you 
can see, Ben's servant heart never stops, no matter the day or time.
  Residing in North Carolina, he and his wife, Brenda, have one 
daughter. Ben has shown immense dedication to his career and his family 
over the years. I am extremely grateful for Ben's service to our 
community and I wish him continued success.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in honoring Ben Rose for his 
service to our community.
