                      TRIBUTE TO CAROLYN McKINLEY

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, I rise today to commend Ms. Carolyn 
McKinley for her leadership as executive director of the Meriwether 
County Chamber of Commerce.
  As chamber executive director, Ms. McKinley was instrumental in 
working with the Flint River Trail, Meriwether County, and 
representatives from 18 riverfront counties to create more outdoor 
recreation opportunities, which will lead to economic development 
opportunities in southwest Georgia. During last year's Georgia 
Governor's tourism conference in Athens, McKinley accepted the Georgia 
River Network's 2022 Water Trail Hero Award on behalf of the Flint 
River Water Trail group. This award honors the partnership between the 
Flint River Water Trail and Meriwether County leaders to boost tourism 
and economic development along Georgia's more than 2,500 river miles.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I recognize and commend Carolyn McKinley's 
leadership as executive director of the Meriwether County Chamber of 
Commerce and for her commitment to economic development in southwest 
Georgia.
