  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today along with Representative 
Jason Crow to recognize Vicky Lea for her contributions to the Denver 
Metro region and State of Colorado as Director of Aerospace and 
Aviation for the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation.
  For more than a decade, Vicky has worked to bolster Colorado's 
aerospace and aviation industries by building partnerships among 
industry professionals, organizing education efforts, and implementing 
strategic recruitment initiatives. Vicky's relentless advocacy on 
behalf of Colorado's aerospace community has been instrumental in 
establishing Colorado as the number one state in the nation for 
aerospace jobs per capita.
  In this role, Vicky's passion and hard work have also been essential 
to Colorado's overall economic growth. Vicky's tenure with the Metro 
Denver Economic Development Corporation has directly correlated with 
increasing opportunities for innovation and growth for small and large 
aerospace businesses across the state that provide tens of thousands of 
high-paying jobs for Coloradans.
  Congratulations again to Vicky Lea on her noteworthy career and 
contributions during her time at the Metro Denver Economic Development 
Corporation. We are thankful for her service and commitment to the 
great State of Colorado and wish her all the best as she moves to the 
next stage of her career.
