                         Thursday, July 7, 2011

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today 
to recognize Mrs. Susan Crim, a dedicated public servant who is 
retiring after serving more than 21 years as City Secretary for the 
City of Euless, TX.
  Mrs. Crim was born in Woodward, OK, and is a graduate of Northwestern 
State University in Alva, OK, where she obtained an associates degree 
in applied science. She is also a graduate of the Texas Municipal 
Clerks Certification program, where she attained her Texas Registered 
Municipal Clerks Certification in January 1991. In 1996 and 2001, she 
served as a trustee for the Texas Municipal Clerks Certification 
Program. Mrs. Crim is also a member of the North Texas Municipal Clerks 
Association, where she served as president from 1996-1997.
  Mrs. Crim has a distinguished work history within the public and 
private sectors. In 1979, Susan was part owner and operator of Circle C 
Drilling Company. Following her time at Circle C, she took a position 
as executive assistant at Dresser Atlas. Mrs. Crim then served as 
office manager at Pecan Grove Baptist Church and School from 1983-1987. 
In June 1987, Mrs. Crim began her career as City Secretary with the 
city of Rosenberg, TX, where she served from 1987-1990.
  In 1990, Mrs. Crim was hired as City Secretary of Euless. As City 
Secretary, Mrs. Crim recorded and maintained the minutes at city 
council meetings, managed the official Euless City public records, 
organized local elections and held the responsibility as keeper of the 
``Seal of the City.'' As a fundamental part of the Euless city 
government, Mrs. Crim has tirelessly served multiple mayors, council 
members and various city departments in Euless.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize Mrs. Crim for her service to 
the city of Euless. Her experience and expertise will be sorely missed. 
I ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Susan Crim on a tremendous career as well as wishing her the best in 
her future endeavors.
