CONGRATULATING AND HONORING ROSE MIMMS
(Mr. Hill of Arkansas was recognized to address the House for 5
minutes.)
Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate
and honor one of my constituents for her dedicated service to the pro-
life movement across our State of Arkansas.
For decades, Rose Mimms has been a steadfast figure and advocate for
the unborn and in support of their moms.
Earlier this year, Rose announced that she would be stepping down
from her role as executive director of the Arkansas Right to Life, a
position that she has held for over 30 years.
This, however, is not the end of Rose's service. She is refocusing
her efforts on fostering and uplifting regional chapters of the
Arkansas Right to Life across the State.
I thank Rose for her many years of dedication to the unborn and to
the State of Arkansas. I wish her nothing but the best for the next
chapter of her advocacy, and I look forward to continuing to watch her
impact and perseverance in this important work.
Recognizing Dr. David Peterson
Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr.
David Peterson for his outstanding service and dedication to keeping
the Natural State natural.
Dr. Peterson was recently honored with the Neil Compton Award by the
Ozark Society in recognition of his decades-long commitment to
environmental stewardship.
Dr. Peterson's dedication to high standards for land, water, and
wildlife habitat conservation in Arkansas reflects a commitment that I
deeply value and commend.
Earlier this year, the Flatside Wilderness Act passed the House,
enhancing this special corner of the Second Congressional District,
creating new opportunities for Arkansans and visitors alike to enjoy
the natural beauty of our State. Dr. Peterson's contributions are
greatly appreciated throughout the effort to enhance Flatside
Wilderness.
Dr. Peterson's service and dedication to conservation are a reminder
of the lasting impact that one individual can have on protecting our
shared natural heritage, and I thank Dr. Peterson for his service.
Recognizing Dr. Elizabeth Cleveland
Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr.
Elizabeth Cleveland, cofounder of Fusion Center Network, a telehealth
diagnostic clinic that will serve Arkansans and eventually all
Americans.
Dr. Cleveland is a former professor in the Department of
Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Central
Arkansas. Her focus is on fetal alcohol syndrome, which affects 1 in 20
babies, but less than 1 percent ever receive an accurate diagnosis.
By improving the diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome and other
neurodevelopmental disorders, Dr. Cleveland and the Fusion Center
Network will be able to help people have longer, healthier, and happier
lives.
Madam Speaker, I congratulate Dr. Cleveland and her colleagues on
their new venture.
Recognizing RPM Group
Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, it is with immense pride that I
rise to recognize and celebrate a remarkable business milestone: 70
years of success, growth, and innovation at Rector Phillips Morse, the
RPM Group.
RPM is an Arkansas-based real estate company specializing in
commercial and investment real estate, along with professional property
management, creating hundreds of jobs in central Arkansas.
Known for its client-focused approach, RPM works with businesses
large and small to find the space they need, and it helps Arkansans
find homes and apartments.
Founded in 1955 by Arkansas Business Hall of Fame inductee Billy F.
Rector and his partners, Byron Morse and Fe Phillips, they have gone
from hard, humble beginnings in central Arkansas to the top in the real
estate industry.
Madam Speaker, 17 years ago, RPM partnered with Coldwell Banker to
expand its residential business, combining national brand power with
their local expertise to better serve communities in Arkansas.
The theme of RPM's 70-year anniversary is ``Building Tomorrow,''
which demonstrates the leaders of central Arkansas' unwavering focus on
future growth, innovation, and long-term community impact.
I thank RPM for their continuous contributions for the betterment of
Arkansans.
