                       Thursday, December 1, 2022

  Ms. CRAIG. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Maureen 
Scallen Failor on a successful five-year tenure as President of the 
Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce as she wraps up her 
impressive run on December 16.
  Maureen is an incredible advocate for her small business members 
across Dakota County. Throughout her time as President, she 
successfully navigated her membership through the pandemic, oversaw 
membership growth throughout the region and increased DCRC's presence 
within the community. Maureen's input on pandemic related legislation 
and advocacy to ensure Chambers received PPP loans was vital to 
Minnesota's Second District. I'll always appreciate our coffee and 
conversations and am thankful for her willingness to moderate many of 
my monthly town halls.
  Small business leaders like Maureen and chambers like DCRC are vital 
to our local Main Street economies. I'm grateful for the numerous 
opportunities I had to work with Maureen and wish her the best in her 
future endeavors.
