  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor 
Judy Altenberg for receiving the 2019 Golda Meir Award from 
JEWISHColorado.
   This award honors local Jewish women who have exemplified 
extraordinary leadership, community involvement and support of the 
Federation, as well as has an outstanding ability to inspire others. 
Judy exemplifies the qualities deserving of this recognition. She has 
been active in the community for several decades through her 
volunteerism and nonprofit work. She has tirelessly volunteered on 
several boards, including as past chair, lifetime board member and 
trustee of the Board of National Women's Philanthropy of the Jewish 
Federations of North America (JFNA). She is the past chair of the 
Jewish Women's Philanthropy Center of JEWISHColorado, where she has 
chaired several fundraising divisions, and alumna of the United Jewish 
Communities' National Young Leadership Cabinet. She is a 2010 graduate 
of the Wexner Heritage Program, an intensive two-year program of Jewish 
leadership and learning. Most recently, in 2019, Judy joined the Rose 
Community Foundation as Director of Gift Planning and Advisor 
Relations. She has been involved with the Foundation since 2007 as a 
trustee and member of the Education Committee and chair of the Jewish 
Life Committee.
   In addition to her work within the Jewish community, Judy has been 
involved locally and at the state level and helped at her children's K-
12 schools, including as past Chair of the Cherry Creek Schools 
Foundation.
   Judy's dedication to her community is outstanding. I extend my 
deepest congratulations to Judy Altenberg for her contribution to our 
community and our state.
