                        Monday, December 1, 2014

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Doris Stipech for her welcoming charisma and the positive influence she 
has bestowed upon her profession and her community through volunteerism 
and philanthropy.
  As an active member of the local community, Doris serves as a board 
member for civic organizations and other boards dedicated to education 
and economic empowerment, including the Arvada Food Bank, Women's Bean 
Project, Leadership Arvada, Red Rocks Community College Foundation 
Board, and the Center for Work, Education and Employment. Doris has 
even created a unique program through State Farm that honors clients on 
their birthday with a gift to a local non-profit. The program has 
raised awareness for many non-profit organizations such as Habitat for 
Humanity and Foothills Animal Shelter.
  Doris' love for learning and new experiences is one of her trademark 
qualities. In addition to her work in the U.S., Doris contributes her 
time to international leadership development. She has worked with 
Habitat for Humanity as a Global Village Builder in Fiji and in 
Northern Ireland. Doris and her family has also been a host for three 
Rotary exchange students. Through State Farm, she has mentored and 
guided new agents new to the business and remains committed to the 
development of young people and their future.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Doris Stipech for generously 
giving her time and effort to non-profit organizations, as well as 
mentoring young people and future agents alike.
