                         Tuesday, July 5, 2022

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Dr. 
Kevin McCarthy on his retirement from Renton Technical College. He has 
served many years as an educator and as a leader in our community.
  Kevin has continually demonstrated his commitment to education. He 
brought his talents to the Pacific Northwest where he served as vice 
president of instruction at the Lake Washington Institute of 
Technology, dean of the Health Sciences, Education & Wellness Institute 
at Bellevue College, and associate vice president of instruction at 
Blue Mountain Community College prior to joining Renton Technical 
College.
  Kevin is well known throughout the community as the president of 
Renton Technical College. He has served as a strong and passionate 
leader in this role since 2015. Kevin has always emphasized the 
importance of inclusion and prioritized equitable access to education 
during his time as president. His focus on equity goes beyond the 
classroom. Kevin serves the community as part of the Puget Sound 
Coalition for College & Career Readiness and as a member of the Renton 
Mayor's Inclusion Task Force.
  Madam Speaker, I sincerely thank and commend Dr. Kevin McCarthy for 
the tireless work he's done to educate and support learners in the 
Puget Sound region. I congratulate him and wish him a happy retirement.
