  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Rochelle Sherlock 
as a woman of the year. She is passionately devoted to improving her 
community both through her career and volunteerism. Ms. Sherlock co-
founded the Senior Coalition of Solano County, a volunteer based group 
which advises the Solano County Board of Supervisors on how best to 
serve the senior community. She has also been an invaluable part of my 
Senior Advisory Group where she has played an essential role in 
increasing my awareness and understanding of the critical issues facing 
seniors in our community. As co-founder of the Solano Commission for 
Women and Girls, she advanced the goal of improving the economic 
status, health and social welfare, and overall quality of life for 
women and girls in Solano County. She is also a founding member of 100 
Women Who Care, a philanthropic organization which provides financial 
support for local charities doing important work. She also co-founded 
the first Solano County Volunteer Center and is a member of the 
Volunteer Center of the Bay Area Board. Ms. Sherlock has done extensive 
volunteer work in service to her community while maintaining her role 
as the founder and CEO of Potentiate, a consulting firm for private 
companies, government, and non-profit organizations. She also does pro-
bono consulting work for dozens of local non-profits and civic leaders 
that has greatly enhanced their ability to more efficiently serve the 
needs of our community. The significant positive impact Rochelle 
Sherlock has had on this community cannot be overstated, and she is 
extremely worthy of this recognition.
