                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 4, 2019

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Pam Dubois on her 31 
years of service in Cabarrus County, located in North Carolina's Eighth 
Congressional District.
  Over the last 31 years, Pam has made countless contributions to our 
area. She started her civic service career in September of 1988 as an 
accountant and retires today as Senior Deputy County Manager.
  Pam has experienced a very successful career and rose through the 
ranks of the Cabarrus County Finance Department to become the Finance 
Director and Deputy County Manager. Through her leadership, Cabarrus 
County has earned the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) 
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for 16 consecutive years and 
the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial 
Reporting for 29 consecutive years.
  Pam serves on a distinguished North Carolina Association of County 
Commissioners committee, where she advises other counties with sound 
fiscal advice, and also on the North Carolina Finance Certification 
Program, from which she received her certification in 1994. She 
obtained her GFOA of the United States and Canada Certified Finance 
Officers Certificate in June 2001. Pam has also served for years on the 
Cabarrus County Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors.
  In addition to her career, Pam is heavily involved with her church--
she's served as an Elder for Orphan Care, as a parking lot attendant 
and on the Building and Grounds Committee. Pam also volunteers in 
numerous ways to help veterans, animals and special-needs children.
  Pam is married to Steve Dubois and has two cats, Brooklyn and 
Isabell. A graduate from the University of South Carolina, Pam is also 
known as one of the most passionate Gamecock fans around, despite 
residing in the Tar Heel State. I know I speak for everyone in the 
community when I say she will be missed but is well deserving of a long 
and happy retirement.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Pam Dubois on her 
decades of service to our community.
