                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 31, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to 
congratulate Linda Romer Todd of Grand Junction, Colorado, on her 
recent award. Linda has been named Realtor of the Year by the Mesa 
County Association of Realtors. This award is well deserved and I would 
like to honor Linda's service to the community of Grand Junction by 
paying her tribute.
  Linda is currently a Broker/Owner for Associated Brokers & 
Consultants, Inc., as well as a member of the Mesa County Association 
of Realtors. While a member for over two decades, she has used her 
natural ability to lead by donating her time as the Chair of the 
Governmental Affairs Committee and as the Director of the Association. 
Her work within the realty profession only begins at the local level 
and it is her membership at the state level that is most impressive.
  As a member of the Colorado Association of Realtors she has again 
shown her desire to help others by serving in a number of different 
capacities. She currently serves on a number of committees including 
the Legislative, Mobilization, and Grassroots Committees where she 
serves as Co-Chair. She also is currently serving as Director of the 
Association and recently received the Political Service Award for the 
year 2000. Linda's work within her profession is quite impressive but 
it is her work to benefit her community that truly demonstrates her 
compassion to help others.
  As a member of the Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce, specifically 
with the Government Affairs Committee and their Leadership Program, 
Linda has realized the true importance of helping one's community. She 
is currently an active and dedicated volunteer for Habitat for 
Humanity. As a member of this distinguished organization she is 
currently serving as President of the Mesa County division and Director 
of Habitat for Humanity of Colorado.
  Linda's contributions to Mesa County and the State of Colorado are 
significant. It makes me proud to know that such outstanding 
individuals reside within the 3rd Congressional District. On behalf of 
the State of Colorado and the U.S. Congress I would like to 
congratulate her on her recent award and wish her the very best as she 
continues to work to better her community.
