                         Friday, August 6, 2021

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Amy Powell 
for being awarded the 2020 Chamber Leader of the Year by the Arvada 
Chamber of Commerce.
  Amy has served the Arvada Chamber of Commerce with a sense of 
commitment and engagement over the past few years, including on several 
committees such as workforce, Leadership KAPS Council as well as 
presented on a variety of topics.
  Amy is also the founder of Well Works, which trains and coaches the 
construction industry professionals to address unique problems within 
their industry. She also spent many years at Golden Triangle 
Construction company where she held several different positions, 
including director of training and outreach. She earned her B.S. in 
Construction Management from Colorado State University as well as her 
Master's in Adult Education and Training.
  When describing her job, she says, ``I understand that there's the 
people side of building and the building side of people.'' She explains 
that in construction too often the focus is on the building and the 
money, but not the people. Amy understands the importance of a thriving 
business community and the power of people and is committed to ensuring 
that Arvada is a topnotch community. Congratulations to Amy Powell for 
being recognized as the 2020 Chamber Leader of the Year by the Arvada 
Chamber of Commerce.
