  Mr. CHAFFETZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service and dedication 
of Steve Densley, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Utah 
Valley Chamber of Commerce. He served and guided Utah Valley for over 
three decades, becoming the second longest sitting Chamber President in 
Utah history. Steve Densley leaves a tradition of excellence in 
business and leadership throughout Utah Valley. He has been recognized 
numerous times throughout his career including the Provo City Mayor's 
Medal of Honor and the Silver Beaver award from the Utah National Parks 
Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Mr. Densley was also chosen to be 
a representative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to serve on the 
Western Region Board of Regents. Mr. Densley has served on over 70 
boards, committees and councils during his 30-year career.
  Steve Densley is a 35-year resident of the city of Provo and the 
proud husband of Colleen Densley. They have a beautiful family, with 
six children and 17 grandchildren. Mr. Densley was an All-American 
football and basketball player at Jordan High School and is an alumnus 
of Brigham Young University. He was honored with the Distinguished 
Alumni Award from the same university.
  I invite my colleagues to join me in celebrating the accomplishments 
of this community leader who has served the Utah Valley Chamber of 
Commerce for the past 30 years. In essence Steve Densley built the Utah 
Valley Chamber of Commerce into what it is today and will leave a 
lasting legacy.
