  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States 
Congress, it is an honor for me to rise today in recognition of Dawn A. 
Moliterno upon her recognition as the Florida Public Relations 
Association Person of the Year.
  Over the years, Ms. Moliterno has time and again proven herself as an 
exceptional businessperson. Beginning with a career in the retail 
industry, Ms. Moliterno served as the Marketing Manager and Company 
Spokesman for the Cafaro Company for 10 years. She then moved on to 
apply her marketing, communication, and strategic development skills to 
the Walton County Florida Chamber of Commerce. While there, Ms. 
Moliterno served as the Vice President of Marketing and Membership and 
had oversight of all membership, marketing, strategic partner 
relationships, product development, sales, and advertising efforts for 
the Regional Chamber. As a testament to her keen business sense, in 
just 4 short years Ms. Moliterno increased membership in the Regional 
Chamber from 1,604 members to over 2,500 members.
  Ms. Moliterno has earned numerous accolades that reflect the hard 
work and dedication that she has applied to her profession. Selected by 
Florida State Senator Don Gaetz along with only 500 other females from 
across the country, Ms. Moliterno was sent to Washington, DC, for the 
2008 Leadership for Women in Business Conference. She is also the 
Regional Steward for Coastal Vision 3000/The Beach and spearheaded the 
Athena International Award for Women for the Northwest Florida region 
in 2006.
  The First District of Florida is incredibly fortunate to house such a 
talented and ambitious person, and it will benefit from the hard work 
provided by Ms. Moliterno for years to come.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I am proud to 
honor Dawn Moliterno for her exceptional talents and her service to the 
First District of Florida.
