                       Tuesday, December 13, 2011

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Christine Cook for her outstanding service to our community.
  Christine is CEO of INGATHER Research, where she has been a huge 
influence on the market research industry, developing the first 
residential home in market research called ``The Reality House.'' 
Several facilities across the Nation have mirrored her model and 
efforts of thinking outside the box. With Christine's help, INGATHER 
Research received BBB's Gold Star Award for Excellence for the past 4 
years and has also been chosen as a ``Colorado Company to Watch'' by 
Colorado Biz Magazine.
  Christine is a leader in the community. She has served as president 
of Colorado Chapter of BMA (Business Marketing Association), MRA 
(Marketing Research Association), Colorado Chapter of AMA (American 
Marketing Association), and Celiac Disease Foundation. In 2010 
Christine was awarded the Communicator of the Year Award from the 
Business Marketing Association and the Colorado Ethics in Business 
Award.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Christine Cook for her well 
deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County. I have no 
doubt she will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her 
future accomplishments.
