 RECOGNITION OF DAVID HINDERLITER FOR HIS SERVICE AS PRESIDENT AND CEO 
              OF THE KANKAKEE REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ADAM KINZINGER

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2012

  Mr. KINZINGER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise today 
to recognize David Hinderliter for his outstanding service as the 
President and CEO of the Kankakee Regional Chamber of Commerce. During 
his impressive 20 years as the head of the Association, Dave oversaw 
the creation of many successful programs and organizations, leading to 
recognition and four star accreditation of the Association by the U.S. 
Chamber of Commerce.
  Dave began his service at the Association as the Ambassador to the 
Chamber and served multiple terms as the Chairman of the Government 
Affairs Committee of the Illinois Association of Chamber of Commerce 
Executives. In this position, he led the effort to create a very 
successful Illinois Chamber Executive education program.
  While Dave's accomplishments as Executive have been many, his service 
to the Association represents only a portion of his service to the 
profession and the community. Often deflecting credit for success to 
those with whom he serves, Dave represents the epitome of leadership, 
enabling others around him to excel and succeed. In addition to his 
commitment to the Kankakee business community, Dave also finds time to 
coach his children's soccer teams and lead his son's Scout troop. He is 
a devoted husband to Diane Hinderliter, and father to Andrew, Amanda, 
and Cameron Hinderliter.
  Once again, I am humbled to honor Dave for his distinguished service 
to the Association, the Chamber community, and the people and business 
owners of the Kankakee Region and wish him all the best in his future 
endeavors.
