                      Wednesday, December 2, 2020

  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
retirement of John Pinkerton from the Victor Valley Community College 
Board of Trustees.
  Mr. Pinkerton was first elected to the Victor Valley Community 
College Board of Trustees in November of 2012. Since then John has 
worked with the other Trustees to help Victor Valley College regain its 
full accreditation, balance its budget, and increase its enrollment and 
annual graduates. When John is not serving as a member of the Board of 
Trustees, he works as a counselor at Silverado High School where he 
helps students in our community not just by helping them prepare for 
college and the workforce, but by striving to make a positive impact in 
their lives.
  I offer my sincere gratitude to John for his many years of service on 
the Victor Valley Community College Board of Trustees and wish him the 
best in his retirement.
