                       Friday, February 11, 2022

  Ms. ROYBAL-ALLARD. Madam Speaker, I rise to salute Noah Assad for his 
many positive contributions to Los Angeles, both as a prominent soccer 
player and as an active member of our Los Angeles community.
  Noah Assad was born on May 5, 1990, in Puerto Rico. He is co-founder 
and CEO of the record company Rimas Entertainment and the Rimas 
Foundation and is the representative of the internationally known 
artist, Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio.
  Mr. Assad acquired his gift for navigating the music business early. 
At age fourteen, he was organizing events in his native Carolina, 
Puerto Rico, bringing in hundreds of people; by age nineteen, he was 
booking local reggaeton acts to perform in Colombia. Assad started 
releasing free reggaeton compilations to increase demand for the acts 
he worked with. His success continued and Assad launched his own label, 
Rimas Entertainment, in 2014.
  Assad has established himself as active leader in his fields. He is a 
hands-on strategist and a philanthropic citizen who utilizes his 
talents to create unique opportunities for all ages to thrive and 
effectively impact the world. His efforts have improved the lives of 
others and laid the groundwork to improve the quality of life of those 
he encounters and the community at large.
  Madam Speaker, Noah Assad has shown exemplary commitment to the 
people of Los Angeles and beyond, and I am pleased to recognize his 
work as a music executive and philanthropist. I hope my colleagues will 
join me in recognizing his many contributions and his positive impact.
