Riemer is entering retirement. I am proud to recognize and celebrate 
Ms. Riemer as an exceptional attorney who has provided outstanding

extraordinary ability to overcome complex challenges, including those 
innumerable legal challenges that have arisen because of the COVID-19 
pandemic. Ms. Riemer's expert guidance and creative leadership have 
helped her clients face challenges and overcome adversity. Her 
dedicated and diligent work has contributed to keeping our fleet

  We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Ms. Riemer has had 
through her long career of public service, and we wish Ms. Riemer 
countless blessings during her retirement.
