  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Dale 
Eldridge Kaye of Livermore, California on her retirement. Dale has 
lived in the Tri-Valley for 17 years and has worked tirelessly to 
develop our community.
  Prior to moving to California, Dale was involved in the Florida state 
government. She utilized her keen marketing skills to develop media 
strategies, execute presidential advance work, and to help bring the 
Super Bowl to Jacksonville in 2005. As Head of the Jacksonville Public 
Relations Department, Dale's exceptional marketing work for the 
Jacksonville Jazz Festival was nationally recognized by PBS. She 
continued to cultivate her love of the arts after moving to California 
as Vice President of the film company Gold'N Hen Productions in Los 
Angeles before moving to the Tri-Valley.

  Upon moving to the Tri-Valley, Dale became the President and CEO of 
the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce and Livermore Valley Film 
Commission. While at the Chamber, she helped promote Livermore 
businesses and began her work to attract top talent to the Tri-Valley 
area. One of her greatest accomplishments with the Chamber was the 
creation of the annual Innovation Forum. Each year this event attracts 
hundreds of business influencers and showcases innovative local 
companies.
  After 12 years with the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce, Dale 
founded the Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group. Utilizing the 
industry relationships she cultivated with the Chamber and her passion 
for business development and marketing, Dale transformed the brand and 
perception of the Tri-Valley. She has brought together 60 partner 
organizations, 25 board members, and 90 committee members to work 
towards the common goal of expanding the national influence of Tri-
Valley innovators.
  With Innovation Tri-Valley Dale launched both the annual 
``#GameChangers'' Awards for business leaders and the ``DreamMakers and 
RiskTakers'' Awards for youth. Both of these events engage civic 
leaders and award local innovators for their groundbreaking work. 
Additionally, she was instrumental in launching the landmark ``Tri-
Valley Rising'' report, which highlights the region's economic 
strengths and promise. Her advocacy and marketing efforts have assisted 
the Tri-Valley in becoming recognized, as Innovation Tri-Valley calls 
it, as ``The Heart of California Innovation.''
  Dale has made an indelible mark on the Tri-Valley business community, 
and I am grateful to have worked with her to better California's 15th 
Congressional District. I want to congratulate Dale on a long and 
successful career. I also want to wish her and her husband Ted, who has 
been her faithful partner during her tremendous work for the Tri-
Valley, all the best in Dale's retirement.
