                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 24, 2019

  Ms. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the service Eddie 
Aguero has provided to the residents of the State of California and to 
our nation. Today, Mr. Aguero is being recognized for his twenty-five 
years of service to California Volunteers. I ask my colleagues to stand 
with me in celebration of his commitment to our community.
  Made at Sacramento State and a U.S. Air Force veteran, Mr. Aguero has 
dedicated his life to service. Prior to his last twenty-five years with 
California Volunteers, he worked at the Sacramento Job Corps as 
Recreation Supervisor and Counselor to the young people attending for 
academic and technical training. He later served as the CalSERVE 
Program Manager for the California Conservation Corps. In this 
capacity, he implemented and managed grants. He also served in other 
capacities where he oversaw projects from start to finish for 150 corps 
members.
  In 1994, Mr. Aguero began his career at California Volunteers, which 
was known as the California Commission at the time. During his time 
with the organization, he served as an Assistant Director of Programs, 
Training and Technical Assistance Director, Disability Coordinator, and 
Manager of Program Operations. Mr. Aguero has also been at the 
forefront of disaster release efforts. In response to Hurricane 
Katrina, he oversaw the deployment of AmeriCorps members and most 
recently for the Camp Fire in Paradise. Over the years, he has 
partnered closely with AmeriCorps programs, providing them with 
essential training and technical assistance, focused on developing the 
capacity of program associates to oversee programs, and much more. Mr. 
Aguero's efforts have not gone unnoticed. The legacy of his work 
garnered him the honor as one of twenty AmeriCorps Trailblazers in 
2014.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Eddie Aguero for his successful 
career and his tireless advocacy for service programming and engaging 
Californians in service. Mr. Aguero is a true California treasure and a 
leader in our community. I ask all my colleagues to join me in wishing 
him congratulations for the past three decades of service and best 
wishes for his continued service.
