                      Wednesday, November 28, 2012

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Lynn Johnson for her service to our community.
  Lynn is the epitome of a collaborator. She works hard to ensure 
bipartisanship and takes pride in her ability to help organizations 
reach common ground in order to best work together to meet a common 
goal. In 2009, Lynn collaborated with local county Commissioners around 
the state to find ways for state and local governments to be less 
adversarial and more willing to work together to achieve greater 
results.
  As a result of her efforts, Lynn created ``REAL Colorado'' a program 
now starting to take effect. Also, Lynn is focusing on creating two new 
initiatives at Human Services to bolster our local economy. She created 
the Jeffco Prosperity Project which partners with Jeffco Public Schools 
to address poverty in our community. In her spare time, she also 
created the AddONE Campaign to generate jobs and boost the economy.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Lynn Johnson 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.
