                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 30, 2022

  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
Cindy Roth, who is retiring after serving the Greater Riverside Chamber 
of Commerce for the past 45 years. Cindy has been a true leader in 
Riverside County for decades and served as an effective advocate whose 
many tireless efforts to better our region will be missed.
  Cindy's lifelong career at the Chamber began when she was 17 years 
old. After serving as a staff member and working her way up through the 
organization, she was chosen to serve as President and CEO in 1999. 
Throughout her career, Cindy has been a powerful and influential voice 
for the Riverside business community in Southern California as well as 
our state capital in Sacramento and here in Washington, D.C. Everyone 
in Riverside County knows if you want to get something done, one of the 
best people to turn to is Cindy Roth.
  Over the years, Cindy has been a part of many efforts and 
achievements that have shaped the future of our region, including 
locating the California Air Resources Board emissions testing facility 
in Riverside and establishing the School of Medicine at the University 
of California, Riverside. My office and I have also enjoyed a 
productive partnership with Cindy to strengthen the role played by 
March Air Reserve Base and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona 
Division, in our national security and Riverside County. In addition to 
her role leading the Chamber, Cindy has been an active member of many 
community organizations including the Monday Morning Group of Western 
Riverside County, The Raincross Club, the Fox Riverside Theater 
Foundation, the City of Riverside Economic Development Corporation, and 
the Foundation Board of Trustees for La Sierra University.
  Cindy clearly possesses a passionate belief in public service and a 
dedication to the community she has served so faithfully. I know I 
speak on behalf of all residents in expressing my heartfelt thanks and 
praise for Cindy's significant contributions to Riverside County. 
Personally, I will always value her friendship and collaboration on so 
many important issues. I wish Cindy, her husband Richard, and the 
entire Roth family the very best in the years to come.
