                      Thursday, December 12, 2013

  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize 
Karen Heyrend, President of the Ventura County Coastal Association of 
Realtors, who has demonstrated a personal dedication and commitment in 
carrying out the mission of the Association, which is to be the primary 
source of real estate products and services for its member brokers and 
agents in West Ventura County.
  Under her outstanding leadership during 2013, Karen has upheld the 
Association's priorities of maintaining the highest standards of 
ethical conduct, all while providing a wide array of benefits to the 
Association's membership of designated brokers, realtors, and affiliate 
members.
  Karen has worked to provide quality service, not only to realtor 
members, but also to their clients and customers. Representing the 
cities of Camarillo, Oxnard, Fillmore, Santa Paula, Port Hueneme, and 
Ventura, she has helped to strengthen the integrity, competency, and 
professionalism of the Association's members.
  Karen's service to the Association goes far beyond her term as 
President. As a member of the Ventura County Coastal Association of 
Realtors for the past thirteen years, Karen has diligently served on 
the Association's Board of Directors as President-Elect, Secretary/
Treasurer and Director.
  As the lead representative of the Association, Karen represented its 
members at the National Association of Realtors mid-year meetings, 
where she met with Federal, State and local government officials and 
elected representatives.
  Through her work, Karen has demonstrated a proud and enduring 
enthusiasm for the real estate profession that she has chosen as her 
life-long career. I want to congratulate Karen on her successes and for 
her tireless dedication to the Association, both past and present.
  I am pleased to recognize Karen Heyrend on her personal and 
professional accomplishments and exemplary year as President of Ventura 
County Coastal Association of Realtors in carrying forth the 
organization's goals, and I extend my best wishes for all of her future 
endeavors.
