  Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Robin 
Phillips of Sherman, Texas, and present her with the Congressional 
Patriot Award. Robin has dedicated herself to serving and uplifting our 
community.
  Robin attended Baylor University and graduated in 1988 with a 
bachelor's degree in interior design. She initially began her career in 
the commercial design field before transitioning to the real estate 
industry. For over twenty years, Robin has continued to provide real 
estate services in North Texas and Oklahoma, and she previously served 
as the President of the Greater Texoma Association of Realtors. 
Moreover, Robin was a board member for Sherman ISD's Parent-Teacher 
Association for over 18 years, where she led efforts to help parents 
better connect with their children's educators.
  While working in real estate, Robin continues to be actively involved 
in out community in many ways. She was appointed by the Governor to 
serve as the Red River Compact Commissioner and ensure that Texas 
receives an equitable share of resources from the Red River in 
conjunction with nearby states. Additionally, Robin is the current 
Precinct Chair for the Grayson County Republican Party and works 
closely with the Grayson College Foundation, the Grayson County 
Republican Women, the Sherman Historical Preservation Board, and many 
others. Along with her husband, Larry, she attends the Post Oak 
Fellowship Church in Sherman. In her free time, she enjoys traveling 
and spending time with her family. I am proud to recognize Robin today 
for her fantastic work and extensive community involvement. I wish her 
continued success for many years to come.
  It is an honor to bestow Robin with the Patriot Award for her 
exceptional service to the people of North Texas.
