  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it's my honor to recognize Alisa Korn on 
her retirement from the Grand Traverse County Parks and Recreation 
Commission, where she has served as the President and board member for 
almost 12 years. Alisa's continued effort to improve communities in 
Northern Michigan deserves unwavering praise and recognition.
  Moving from Florida to Michigan during high school, Alisa graduated 
from Traverse City Central High School and soon began her service to 
her community through the Grand Traverse County Parks & Recreation 
Commission. Throughout her distinguished career, Alisa has held both 
elected and appointed positions in Traverse City's local government--
from County Commissioner to Grand Traverse

County Delegate. Her effort to create lasting change in her community 
led her to become a valued member of the Traverse City Housing 
Authority, where she has been Program Manager and Family Self-
Sufficiency Manager since 2016.
  Throughout Alisa's career, she has been at the forefront of expanding 
the Traverse City Housing Authority's reach and impact within the 
community. Contributing to plans for future developments like the East 
Bay Flats community, and providing the necessary resources to ensure 
past developments, such as the Orchardview Townhomes, are efficiently 
run and operated to best serve the community. Her efforts throughout 
her career have created lasting change in the Grand Traverse area, 
providing the necessary resources to families and residents while 
ensuring the community's self-sufficiency.
  Mr. Speaker, it's my honor to recognize Alisa Korn for her continued 
service to the Traverse City community. On behalf of Michigan's First 
District, I extend my gratitude to Alisa and her family and wish them 
all the best in their future endeavors.
