                 HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF LISA TROLAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOE COURTNEY

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 21, 2022

  Mr. COURTNEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the career of 
Lisa Trolan, who retired from her work with General Dynamics Electric 
Boat, on December 23, 2021.
  Madam Speaker, Ms. Trolan retires from a long, dedicated career that 
spans 35 years with Electric Boat. As a senior member of Electric 
Boat's Public Affairs team, Lisa welcomed thousands of visitors to the 
company's locations in Connecticut and Rhode Island and helped to 
highlight the skilled workforce of technological marvels produced by 
Electric Boat. In doing so, Lisa has acted as a staunch advocate for 
our community, representing a major employer within the region to 
attract businesses, suppliers, and employees alike.
  A Groton, Connecticut native and a graduate of the University of 
Connecticut, Lisa has lived out a destiny of nurturing the growth of 
the very community that raised her. These foundational values trace all 
the way back to her upbringing under her parents, Julio and Frances, 
who also served the Town of Groton well through their longstanding, 
respective roles with Groton Utilities and the Public School system. It 
is no coincidence that Electric Boat's Connecticut headquarters is in 
Groton. It is also no surprise that even in retirement, Lisa remains an 
active supporter of local civic organizations as well as the University 
of Connecticut.
  Madam Speaker, Lisa's legacy with Electric Boat--one of excellence 
and commitment to its employees, the Navy and the nation--is unrivaled. 
She has always prioritized giving back to her foundations and has 
played a direct part in adding oil to the economic engine that is 
Electric Boat. With his departure, our region and Electric Boat can 
find comfort in the sound supply chain infrastructure that he directly 
brought about. To that end, I ask that my colleagues in the House join 
me in congratulating Lisa Trolan on her well-earned retirement.
