                      HON. RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 26, 2018

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Paul Boudreau 
on the occasion of his retirement after 10 years as President of the 
Morris County Chamber of Commerce, located in the Borough of Florham 
Park, County of Morris, New Jersey.
  Paul A. Boudreau is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire in 
Durham. After receiving his Masters Degree at the University of Maine, 
he ran successfully for the Maine House of Representatives in 1976 and 
1978. Paul also worked for Scott Paper Company, after his two 
legislative terms, as Manager of Public Affairs, New England Region.
  In 1983, he joined Allied Corporation (Honeywell) and moved to 
Detroit, Michigan as manager, government and public affairs, for 
company operations in six mid-western states. In 1996, he returned to 
Morris Township, New Jersey, as Director of State Government Relations. 
In this capacity, he was responsible for state and local government 
relations in North America. He also served for six years as Executive 
Director of the Honeywell Foundation and was a member of the company's 
Political Action Committee Board for ten years. During his career at 
Honeywell, he worked on business-critical issues covering twenty-five 
states. He retired as Vice President of State and Corporate Relations 
after twenty-five years with the company.
  Paul joined the Chamber in the summer of 2008. He has led the effort 
to grow the organization from 660 members in 2008 to 840 today. Under 
his leadership the chamber's Economic Development Corporation is 
providing value added services to organizations to retain and growing 
jobs in Morris County. He has served in leadership roles with a number 
of state and local organizations including

the New Jersey Business & Industry Association; the Chemical Industry 
Council of New Jersey; United Way of Morris County; the Community Soup 
Kitchen; the Morris County Airport Advisory Committee; the Somerset 
Hills YMCA and other organizations.
  In 2012, Paul was nominated by Governor Chris Christie and confirmed 
by the New Jersey State Senate to serve with six other commissioners on 
the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC). PERC is a state 
administrative agency charged with administering the New Jersey 
Employer-Employee Relations Act. The agency deals with certain labor 
relations issues involving public employers, public employees, and 
unions that represent public employees.
  Paul is a strong team player with a proven track record of 
successfully working with cross functional teams, and worked closely 
with Chamber staff, Cabinet members and general membership. His 
leadership has been invaluable to New Jersey and to the preservation 
and expansion of Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway Township, and multiple 
programs that serve active duty servicemen and women, their families, 
and veterans.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and our colleagues join me in 
congratulating Paul on the occasion of his retirement from the Morris 
County Chamber of Commerce.
