                      Wednesday, November 13, 2013

  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize Angela Acosta-Salazar, a member of the Rio Hondo College 
Board of Trustees, for her tireless work in increasing access to higher 
education.
  Professionally, Angela has committed herself to the issues of higher 
education and community empowerment. Through her service as Trustee she 
fostered relationships and strengthened communications between the 
college and its student body. As an educator, Angela has educated 
hundreds of students in the Social Sciences and has created a space 
that encouraged personal development and academic excellence. As a 
public servant, Angela has generously dedicated her time to the Rio 
Hondo College Foundation.
  Having served as a Los Angeles Community College District adjunct 
instructor for over ten years, her commitment to education should be an 
inspiration to all at Rio Hondo College. Although she now completes 
nine years of service to Rio Hondo College's Board of Trustees, she 
leaves behind a legacy and a mission that will not end when she steps 
down.
  Mr. Speaker and distinguished colleagues, please join me in honoring 
Ms. Angela Acosta-Salazar. Let us congratulate her on her many 
accomplishments to the Rio Hondo Community College District and our 
community. We wish her good health and success in all future endeavors.

                          ____________________
