  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the recipients of the 
Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Awards, presented by the Northern 
Virginia Chamber of Commerce. These awards, presented annually, are 
given to individuals, businesses and non-profits in Northern Virginia 
that have demonstrated exceptional dedication to business leadership, 
employee engagement, and corporate social responsibility.
  In Northern Virginia, we are blessed to have a strong tradition of 
civic engagement, which extends not only to our neighborhoods, but to 
our thriving business community as well. Efforts like the ones 
exhibited by the recipients of these awards are among the many reasons 
why Fairfax County remains one of the best places in the country in 
which to live, work, raise a family, and start a business.
  It is my honor to include in the Record the names of the 2018 
Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Awards:
  Non-Profit of the Year--Cornerstones.
  Public Sector of the Year--Fairfax County Office of Public Private 
Partnerships.
  Emerging Leader of the Year--Stephen Gillotte, President & CEO, 
Reinventing Geospatial, Inc.
  Executive Leader of the Year--Timothy Lyden--Partner, Northern 
Virginia--Hogan Lovells.
  Small Business--ThunderCat Technology.
  Mid-Size Business--Acumen Solutions.
  Large Business--Accenture.
  Mr. Speaker, as a former member and Chairman of the Fairfax County 
Board of Supervisors, I have seen firsthand how the partnership between 
our public, private, and non-profit sectors come together to improve 
the lives of innumerable members of our community and maintain our high 
quality of life. I thank the Northern Virginia Chamber for once again 
sponsoring these important awards and extend my congratulations to all 
of the award recipients. I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking 
them for their service to our community and in wishing them great 
success in their future endeavors.
