                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 12, 2022

  Mr. HUIZENGA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Jane Clark on her exemplary career and decades of service 
to the West Michigan community. It is an honor to express my gratitude 
to Ms. Clark for her dedication, commitment, and hard work towards 
advancing West Michigan.
  In 1990, Ms. Clark began her West Michigan business career with the 
Holland Area Chamber of Commerce, before guiding its merger into the 
Michigan West Coast Chamber. Throughout her career, she has filled the 
critical roles of Membership Director, Vice President, and President of 
the organization. She has worked hard to shape the Chamber of Commerce 
into a pillar of the community. Under her leadership, the Chamber was 
named the Outstanding Chamber of the Year for Michigan in 2018 and, in 
multiple years, the Chamber received a 5-star accreditation from the 
U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
  On top of her many years at the Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Clark has 
also devoted her time to serving on the boards of several cherished 
West Michigan institutions, including the Holland Museum, Holland 
Hospital, and the Tulip Time Festival. Recently, her efforts were 
highlighted by the Grand Rapids Business Journal, who named her as one 
of the most influential women in West Michigan.
  Throughout her career, Ms. Clark has strived to help guide, mentor, 
and develop the 1,250 West Michigan businesses that she represents.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in thanking Jane Clark for her years of 
dedicated service to the West Michigan community. Her strong leadership 
has helped propel the West Michigan business community to where it is 
today.
