                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JARED MOSKOWITZ

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 14, 2026

  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today along with my colleague, 
Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to recognize and celebrate the 
honorees of the 42nd Annual Dr. Nan S. Hutchison Broward Senior Hall of 
Fame, an esteemed tradition made possible through the tireless efforts 
of the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County, an organization 
committed to improving the lives of older adults throughout our 
community.
  The Area Agency on Aging of Broward County is part of a statewide 
network of 11 Area Agencies on Aging serving 67 counties across 
Florida. These agencies are tasked with coordinating a wide array of 
programs and services designed to help seniors live safely, 
independently, and with dignity in their own homes and communities. 
From meal delivery and transportation assistance to caregiver support 
and health education, the Agency plays a pivotal role in addressing the 
needs of our aging population.
  Each year, the Broward Senior Hall of Fame honors exemplary residents 
aged 60 and older who have selflessly dedicated five or more years to 
volunteer service in Broward County. These individuals embody the 
spirit of civic engagement and community service that strengthens the 
social fabric of our region.
  I include in the Record the names of this year's distinguished 
honorees:

       The Honorable Mikkie Belvedere, Michael Brodie, Mayor 
     Angelo Castillo, the Honorable Roy Gold, Deacon Lorna 
     Goodison, the Honorable Bob Mayersohn, Dr. Rudy Moise, 
     Rosalind ``Roz'' Perlmutter, Silvia Quintana, and Barry 
     Solomon.

  Their contributions have had a lasting impact on the community, from 
mentoring young people and supporting local nonprofits to expanding 
access to healthcare and standing up for vulnerable residents. Their 
dedication is both admirable and truly inspiring.
  We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Charlotte 
Mather-Taylor, CEO of the Area Agency on Aging of Broward County, for 
her outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to serving the 
community. Through her vision and dedication, the Agency has continued 
to strengthen its impact and ensure that seniors throughout Broward 
County receive the care, support, and recognition they deserve.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Florida's 23rd and 25th Congressional 
Districts, we ask our colleagues to join us in congratulating these 
outstanding individuals for their extraordinary volunteerism and in 
recognizing the indispensable role the Area Agency on Aging of Broward 
County plays in supporting, celebrating, and advocating for our senior 
community.
