  Mr. MAST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Dennis Frisch, a 
podiatric physician who practices in his hometown of Boca Raton, Fla., 
for his installation on March 18, 2018, as President of the American 
Podiatric Medical Association.
  Dr. Frisch has dedicated his life to service in his profession and 
his community. After graduating from Dr. William M. Scholl College of 
Podiatric Medicine and completing his residency at the Franklin 
Boulevard Community Hospital in Chicago, Ill., Dr. Frisch went into 
private practice in Boca Raton. 30 years later, he continues to provide 
podiatric care in that community.
  He has been board certified in podiatric surgery by the American 
College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons for nearly 25 years and is a 
founding member of the American Society of Podiatric Surgeon. Dr. 
Frisch has also served as president of the Florida Podiatric Medical 
Association, winning the FPMA Podiatrist of the Year Award and its 
President's Award. In addition, he has twice been named one of the top 
150 Most Influential Podiatrists in America and was appointed by 
Governor Charlie Crist to the Florida Board of Podiatric Medicine, 
serving for 6 years.
  Dr. Frisch has also been an active member of the American Podiatric 
Medical Association. He was elected to its Board of Trustees in 2007 
before becoming Treasurer. He is also a member of APMA's Annual Meeting 
Committee and Scholarship Committee, as well as serving as the APMA 
Barry University liaison.
  Dr. Frisch is also active in the Boca Raton community. He has served 
two terms as president of the Boca Raton Rotary Club and served for 
eight years as a Commissioner for the Greater Boca Raton Beach and 
Parks District. Currently, he is an appointed Board member to the City 
of Boca Raton Parks and Recreation Department Advisory Board. And last, 
but most importantly, Dr. Frisch is a proud husband to his wife 
Jennifer, father to his two children, Ashley and Daniel, and Pa Pa of 
two grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish Dr. Frisch great success as he takes the helm of 
the American Podiatric Medical Association.
