       IN APPRECIATION OF JANE WITTMEYER AND HER SERVICE TO IDAHO

                                 ______

                       Monday, September 9, 2019

  Mr. SIMPSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jane Wittmeyer 
for her incredible service she has given to the great state of Idaho as 
she retires from Wittmeyer and Associates.
  One of the greatest aspects of being a public servant is meeting 
people like Jane. Over the years, my staff and I have relied on Jane 
for her guidance and expertise in several areas, particularly related 
to our forests, natural resources and agriculture. Jane can bring 
people together by building coalitions to solve issues by finding 
creative solutions with minimal impact. This is a skillset that few 
people possess, and our society certainly needs more problem-solvers 
like Jane.
  Jane's resume is also extremely impressive, from her exceptional 
academic education receiving her MBA in International Business and PhD 
in Public Administration, to her incredible work ethic running her own 
company, to her athletic achievements in cross country and Tae Kwon Do. 
Simply put, there is very little that Jane can't and hasn't 
accomplished.
  There is a personal side to Jane as well. Whenever you see her, she 
greets you with a warm smile, asks about your work and family and is 
happy to share stories of her own children and husband. She is a 
dedicated mother, wife and a fiercely loyal friend.
  I consider Jane a good friend, so it is hard to imagine Idaho 
Agriculture Industry without her at the table. Congratulations Jane, 
enjoy retirement.
