the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce Annual Chamber Excellence (ACE) 
Awards. These awards are presented by the Chamber to individuals and 
businesses whose extraordinary efforts make our community a better 
place.
  I have been proud to represent this community since my days as 
Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. The level of civic 
engagement celebrated by these awards is a testament to the community 
spirit of Reston. I have often said that civic engagement is a key 
indicator of a healthy community and this event is further proof that 
Reston is one of the healthiest communities in all of Northern 
Virginia. That is due in no small part to the actions of those honored 
here today and I extend my congratulations to all of today's honorees. 
I also wish to thank Charles Kapur, Mark Ingrao and the entire staff of 
the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce for their tireless efforts on 
behalf of others and in making our community one of the best places in 
the country in which to live, work, raise a family and start a 
business.

the 2017 ACE Awards:

and Tom Madden

  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating the

Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce for continuing this wonderful 
tradition, and I express my sincere gratitude to these individuals,
