  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Bowling Green 
Area Chamber of Commerce for being recognized as Chamber of the Year. 
This acknowledgement was made during the American Chamber of Commerce 
Executives' annual conference.
  Through the leadership of Chairman of the Board Todd Davis, President 
Jim Hizer, and the teamwork of the community, the Bowling Green Area 
Chamber of Commerce was recognized by their peers for their hard work 
and achievements.
  Success in economic development efforts and community programs led to 
the Chamber being elevated as the top organization in its class. The 
region's business community has seen tremendous growth due to the 
leadership programs, educational initiatives, and other opportunities 
provided by the Chamber to its members.
  The Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce has shown a strong 
commitment to bringing success and prosperity to the community. I 
commend the Board of Directors, staff, membership, and volunteers of 
the Chamber on receiving this prestigious honor.
