                      Wednesday, December 20, 2017

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dot Miller for 
being honored as a ``7Everyday Hero'' by KMGH Channel 7 for her 
outstanding service to the community.
  Dot is the former President of the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. During 
her leadership the Chamber grew from 450 members to more than 700 
members. During that time, she also helped educate Arvada businesses 
and develop future leaders by exposing students to the workforce.
  In 2011, Dot created the Jefferson County Business Education Alliance 
(JCBEA) which partners business owners and students with educational 
opportunities such as internships and job shadowing opportunities. One 
of the signature programs of the JCBEA is the Career Readiness Program 
which brings together teachers, administrators and business leaders in 
the community to help students in the classroom. This program is a 
course made up of six modules where students learn various skills 
ranging from work ethic and customer service to financial 
responsibility. In addition, students learn interview skills and how to 
write resumes. The JCBEA also provides workforce-ready training by 
conducting mock interviews between students and business leaders in the 
community.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Dot Miller for receiving this 
well-deserved honor as a ``7Everyday Hero''. Her positive impact on the 
community will be felt for many years to come.
