                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 24, 2018

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize David Portman for 
his immeasurable contributions to the community and to congratulate him 
as he receives the Distinguished Leadership Award at Hollywood Golf 
Club's 2018 Benefit for the Jewish Federation in the Heart of New 
Jersey. Mr. Portman's philanthropy and professional accomplishments are 
truly deserving of this body's recognition.
  President of Triad Group, a development, construction and management 
company, Mr. Portman is an accomplished and respected businessman in 
New Jersey. For more than 35 years, Triad Group has completed numerous 
projects, including medical facilities, legal offices, and residential 
properties. In addition to his professional work, Mr. Portman is an 
active member and leader in the Jewish community. He currently serves 
on the Leaders Council for the Jewish Federation in the Heart of New 
Jersey and has previously served as President of the Jewish Federation 
of Monmouth County, as Vice President of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid 
Society and as Regional Chair of Operation Renewal, among others.
  Combining his expertise as a developer with his compassionate support 
of the Jewish community, Mr. Portman has committed years to the 
construction of The Jewish Home for Rehabilitation and Nursing. This 
new facility will fulfill Mr. Portman's mission to not only provide 
necessary medical care to patients, but to also maintain their 
connection to the Jewish faith and customs. Mr. Portman's vision and 
respect for the comfort of these patients and their families is truly 
admirable.
  Once again, I sincerely hope my colleagues will join me in honoring 
David Portman for his dedicated leadership and support of the Jewish 
community.
