                       Monday, February 27, 2023

  Mr. POSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cheryl Moore, a 
true servant-leader who is retiring this month after forty years of 
service to the residents and communities across Central Florida and 
Florida's Space Coast.
  For the last 13 years Cheryl has been a cherished member of my staff, 
serving as Director of Community Relations covering North Brevard and 
Orange County and assisting constituents all over the District resolve 
complex cases involving federal agencies like the IRS, OPM, Postal 
Service, veterans' benefits, and Medicare to name a few.
  Cheryl began her public service career in 1984 as a member of the 
Orange County Code Enforcement Board, a position she held for eight 
years. Cheryl would go on to make significant contributions to the 
state legislature, serving as Chief Legislative Aide to State 
Representative Tom Feeney and later State Senator John Ostalkiewcz. 
Cheryl even worked as a staff member in the State Redistricting Office, 
helping oversee the operation to draw new State Legislature and 
Congressional Districts. In 2000, she returned to the Florida House as 
top aide to then-Florida House Speaker Feeney, and upon his successful 
election to Congress, served as his District Director from 2002 to 
2008. Before joining the 8th Congressional District staff, Cheryl 
served in the same role for Congresswoman Sandy Adams.
  Cheryl is known as a trailblazer for women and a legend in her 
industry, often setting the standard for professional and effective 
public service. Throughout her career Cheryl was recognized with the 
President's Award from the Orange County Sheriffs Office, the Seminole 
County Sheriffs Office Legislative Award and the Orange County Sheriffs 
Award for ``Exceptional Leadership'' for restoring the special risk 
assessment for law enforcement to 3 percent. However, what Cheryl is 
truly known for is her caring servant's heart and the difference she 
has made in the lives of so many.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Cheryl Moore on her 
long and distinguished service and wishing her all the best in this 
next chapter of her life.
