                        Tuesday, August 7, 2018

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am humbled to honor an extraordinary 
citizen of our South Florida community, Paul Novack.
  Hailing from Miami-Dade County, Paul has served as a tireless 
advocate and public servant for those who call our slice of paradise 
their home.
  A proud graduate of my alma mater, the University of Miami (Go 
Canes!), Paul served as student body President among many other 
leadership roles. Following his undergraduate degree, Paul enrolled in 
Nova Southeastern University, where he earned his Juris Doctorate.
  Upon completion of his law degree, Paul began his journey to what 
became an extraordinary legal career, representing thousands of clients 
and litigating numerous cases across multiple legal subjects.
  In 2016, Paul was honored by the Dade County Bar Association for 
significant contributions in providing access to justice; an honor that 
is well deserved.
  In addition, Paul answered the Town of Surfside's call to service, 
serving six terms as Town Commissioner and subsequently Mayor. During 
his tenure as Mayor, Paul worked to author and reform township ethics 
rules, and led the town to 12 consecutive balanced budgets.
  However, Paul's commitment to public service didn't stop there. In 
addition to his roles in public office, he has also held officer 
postings in our armed forces auxiliary; a Flotilla Staff Officer in the 
Coast Guard Auxiliary and a Captain in the Civil Air Patrol.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Paul's countless hours of 
service and dedication to our community. I thank him for his years of 
dedicated service, and wish him the very best in the years to come.
  Gracias (thank you) Paul
