                        TRIBUTE TO JACK SALZMAN

  Mr. TILLIS. Mr. President, today I would like to honor a constituent 
of mine who was recently awarded one of the highest honors in his 
industry.
  Jack Salzman, owner of Lake Norman Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-RAM in 
Cornelius, NC, was named 2018 TIME Magazine Dealer of the Year, a 
national award that recognizes new-car dealers who exhibit exceptional 
performance in their dealerships and perform distinguished community 
service.
  The TIME Magazine Dealer of the Year award is held in partnership 
with Ally Financial and the National Automobile Dealers Association, 
NADA. Representatives from TIME and Ally Financial presented the award 
at the 2018 NADA Show in Las Vegas, NV. He dedicated his award to his 
wife, Robin Smith-Salzman.
  Mr. Salzman was recognized for his exceptional commitment to giving 
back to his community focusing his philanthropic time and attention in 
three areas: animals in need, children in need, and women in need.
  To this end, he is a contributor to the Humane Society of Charlotte, 
NC, as well as a founding board member of Lake Norman Humane Society. 
He also supports Lake Norman Lucky Cats, which provides trap-neuter-
return services, as well as Holly'z Hope, an organization that helps 
unchain dogs by building fences for homeowners in need.
  To assist women and children in need, Mr. Salzman is a longtime 
supporter of the Dove House Children's Advocacy Center in Statesville, 
NC, Pat's Place Child Advocacy Center in Charlotte, NC, Amy's House in 
Lincolnton, NC, and the Shelter of Gaston County in Gastonia, NC. Mr. 
Salzman has stated, ``We believe these organizations serve a critical 
need in our community.''
  Other national groups Mr. Salzman contributes to include Make-A-Wish, 
Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, Susan G. Komen, and the 
American Cancer Society.
  Mr. Salzman is also an accomplished swimmer in the 200-meter 
backstroke and competed in the U.S. Olympic trials for the summer games 
in Moscow.
  He was nominated for the TIME Magazine Dealer of the Year award by 
Robert Glaser, president of the North Carolina Automobile Dealers 
Association.
  On behalf of all the constituents of North Carolina, please join me 
in congratulating Mr. Salzman on being named the 2018 TIME Magazine 
Dealer of the Year. I wish him and his family continued success and a 
prosperous future.
