                      Wednesday, November 28, 2012

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Kathy Hodgson for her outstanding service to our community.
  As Lakewood City Manager, Kathy Hodgson's efforts have bolstered the 
city's financial reserves to an historic level. Her successful 
leadership has led her team to entice new businesses to locate in 
Lakewood.
  Kathy's collaborative nature was demonstrated when she spearheaded an 
effort to save a Lakewood middle school from closure. Now, that school 
is part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and home to 
Jefferson County's first Boys and Girls Club.

  Among her successes, Kathy is president of the Metro City and County 
Management Association and sits on the Jeffco Schools Capital Asset 
Advisory Committee. Also, Kathy was appointed by Governor Hickenlooper 
to the Red Rock's Community College President's Advisory Council.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Kathy Hodgson for her well 
deserved honor by the West Chamber serving Jefferson County and to 
thank her for her commitment to our community. I have no doubt she will 
exhibit the same dedication and character in all her future 
accomplishments.
