                        Monday, December 1, 2014

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Heather Geyer for her passion for local government and commitment to 
her community.
  Heather started her career serving for seven years as the Assistant 
to the City Manager in Greenwood Village. She then moved to the 
position of Assistant to the City Manager for the City of Wheat Ridge 
in 2006. In her current position, Heather serves as the Administrative 
Services Director/Public Information Officer for the City of Wheat 
Ridge where she oversees the internal support services department 
including Human Resources, Information & Technology, Finance, 
Purchasing and Sales Tax. She celebrates eight years at the City of 
Wheat Ridge in December.
  Heather is also a huge believer in mentoring the next generation of 
women in government and is a founding member of Colorado Women Leading 
Government. This unique group is dedicated to advancing the role of 
women in local government. Heather has received numerous state and 
national awards for all her work. She continues to dedicate her extra 
time to her community as the president and budget manager of the 
Foothills Animal Shelter Board of Directors and as a board member for 
the Wheat Ridge Optimist Club.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Heather for her tremendous 
work mentoring and giving back to her community. I have no doubt she 
will exhibit the same dedication and character in all her future 
accomplishments.
