  Mr. FOSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Officer Skyy 
Calice as the recipient of the City of Aurora's African American 
Heritage Advisory Board's 2019 African-American Leader of the Year 
award.
  Officer Calice with the Aurora Police Department has been a true star 
in our community. As a Community Oriented Policing Officer, she has 
used her perspective and experience to launch numerous initiatives to 
make a difference. She established the Girls Run the World mentoring 
program to help guide young ladies in our local high schools to reach 
their full potential. Programs like this have been crucial to so many 
of our community members and future leaders.
  I would like to thank Officer Calice for her honorable commitment to 
her community. I would also like to express my support for the City of 
Aurora's African American Advisory Board Annual Heritage Dinner. The 
commitment of dedicated public servants like Officer Calice is an 
inspiration to all of us.
