                       HONORING CANDICE EBERHARDT

  (Ms. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BROWN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Candice 
Eberhardt, who recently made history by becoming the first Black woman 
to lead the Akron-Cleveland Association of Realtors, also known as 
ACAR, across its 100-year existence.
  Throughout her 20 years in realty, Ms. Eberhardt has held many 
titles: youngest minority real estate broker in Akron, emerging leader, 
and entrepreneur. Now, she adds one more: glass ceiling breaker.
  I am most grateful for the ways Ms. Eberhardt gives back to our 
community. She helps to develop young agents. She speaks to community 
groups about homeownership. She has held key roles in local government. 
She serves as the Akron NAACP housing chair, and she mentors high 
school students.
  Through her impressive career and considerable contributions, Ms. 
Eberhardt has paved a path that more Black women in northeast Ohio will 
follow. I would like to congratulate Ms. Eberhardt on her new role and 
thank her for serving as a trailblazer, a change-maker, and a role 
model in northeast Ohio.
