                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 13, 2011

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Amy Sherman for her outstanding service to our community.
  Amy Sherman is a woman of integrity, vision, and perseverance. While 
serving ten years as the President of the West Chamber, Amy founded and 
helped develop many organizations geared to help businesses flourish in 
Jefferson County. These organizations include the Jefferson County 
Business Resource Center, the Rooney Valley Association, and the 
Celebrate Women of Jefferson County Event. Amy also started the tourism 
initiative named Experience Jefferson County.
  Amy sees the bigger picture and is willing to take the risks 
necessary for her projects to succeed. Due to her keen eye and 
purposeful spirit, Amy was awarded the Colorado Chamber of Commerce 
Executive of the Year in 2008.
  Awards and congratulations are not what drive Amy; she strives to 
make every person's life in the community better. Whether sitting on 
one of 14 boards throughout her ten years as the West Chamber 
President, or volunteering with the Twin Connection to mentor a meth-
addicted mother of twins, or chairing events for her children's school 
PTA, Amy focuses on the betterment of her community for now and many 
years to come.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Amy Sherman 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.
