                       Monday, February 28, 2022

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Arvada 
Economic Development Association (AEDA) for receiving the 2021 Arvada 
Chamber of Commerce's Behind the Scenes Award.
  The Chamber's Behind the Scenes Award is given to an organization or 
individual who is an unsung hero in our community and is truly focused 
on ensuring the Arvada community and businesses are thriving.
  The Arvada Economic Development Association team has exhibited 
leadership and collaboration through their willingness to partner and 
support the Arvada Chamber of Commerce and the local businesses they 
serve. The staff and board members of AEDA offered their time and 
talent to ensure the appropriate resources were allocated throughout 
Arvada in order to have an optimal impact on the business community as 
a whole. Through this investment, they have supported the economic 
recovery of the local business community during the COVID-19 pandemic, 
critical shifts to the local workforce system, and helped advance 
business education programs. These are a few of the countless examples 
of how AEDA has shown their commitment to their partners, local 
businesses and our community all while continuing to make Arvada one of 
the best places to do business.
  Congratulations to Arvada Economic Development Association for this 
honor, and I thank them for their contribution to our community.
