                           HON. HARLEY ROUDA

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 3, 2020

  Mr. ROUDA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Elisabeth 
Brown for her incredible tenure as the President of Laguna Greenbelt, 
Inc. For more than three decades, Dr. Brown has led and overseen the 
creation and implementation of new programs that positively impact and 
contribute to our Laguna Beach community.
  Dr. Brown has served on the Board of Directors of Laguna Greenbelt, 
Inc. since 1980 and stepped into the role of President just seven years 
later. During her time as President, she has received numerous awards 
and recognitions, including the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award for the 
League of Conservation.
  Dr. Brown has sought to protect the natural resources of Orange 
County while establishing educational programs to enhance the public's 
knowledge on the California Coastal Canyon environment. A cornerstone 
of Dr. Brown's work has been the establishment of a training class that 
taught hundreds of volunteers about the native plant habitats and 
restoration projects throughout Orange County.
  I ask all Members to join me in recognizing the extraordinary work 
and contributions of Dr. Elisabeth Brown to California's 48th 
Congressional District and all of Orange County.
