                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 30, 2011

  Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated public 
servant from my Congressional District, Donna Becerra of the Village of 
Glendale Heights. After an extraordinary career of 34 years of service, 
Donna is stepping down from her position as Village Administrator.
  Over the years, Donna has proven herself as a vital asset to the 
Village of Glendale Heights. Since her first position as a secretary in 
the Community Development Department, she has tirelessly served from 
within the Department in a number of leadership positions. Her 
steadfast commitment, diverse experience, and vibrant interest in the 
history and welfare of the Glendale Heights community have caused her 
to excel in every capacity.
  In addition to Village Administrator, Donna has also served as 
Records Supervisor, Assistant Building Commissioner, Staff Planner, and 
Director of Community Development. She has pursued significant 
additional training and education, and is an active member in a number 
of Village committees.
  In 2005, as a member of the Glendale Heights Historic Committee, 
Donna was recognized with the Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award for 
her extensive research and documentation for a History of the Village 
of Glendale Heights brochure.
  Donna leaves a powerful legacy in her passionate and conscientious 
approach to serving the community of Glendale Heights and her robust 
preservation of its history. She is truly a public servant and a model 
citizen.
  Mr. Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing this special occasion as we celebrate Donna Becerra's 
faithful service to the Village of Glendale Heights and wish her the 
best in her future endeavors.
