                       Tuesday, December 21, 2010

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and applaud 
Hazel Hartbargar for her outstanding service to our community.
   As the Director of the Arvada Economic Development Association, 
Hazel Hartbargar is an advocate for all business in the community and 
has been recognized regionally and nationally for her work. She has 
been called the ``heart and soul'' of ADEA. Her ability to help people 
work together and the compassion she shows is exceptional.
   Hazel has been instrumental in implementing many community programs 
including PropertyLink which is a website local commercial business can 
use to search for land, as well as retail and industrial space within 
the city. She also helped to implement JobLink which enables businesses 
within the city to post open positions.
   When Hazel received the Pioneer Award, she was described as a true 
modern day pioneer; a visionary who ventures into the unknown, creating 
new opportunities for herself and others and encouraging others to 
explore new areas of thought.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Hazel Hartbargar for her well 
deserved recognition by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I 
have no doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all 
her future accomplishments.
