  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Jill Fellman for 
receiving the West Chamber's 2015 Celebrate Women Award. This award 
celebrates local women leaders with drive, perseverance and service to 
their community.
  As a Jefferson County native, Jill attended Jefferson County schools 
and then became an educator in the Jefferson County public school 
system for 30 years. After retiring from her education career, Jill 
served as an elected member of the Jefferson County School Board of 
Education from November 2011 to November 2015.
  Currently, she is a member of the Jefferson County Schools Foundation 
Board, the Audit Committee, the Wheat Ridge Education Alliance, and the 
City of Arvada Coordinating Council. She also serves as Secretary for 
the Arvada Community Food Bank board and is Vice Chair for the Sooper 
Credit Union Foundation board. With her endless amount of energy and 
passion for first rate public education, she also serves on the board 
of Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth and is an Edgewater 
Collective community partner.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Jill Fellman for receiving the 
2015 Celebrate Women Award. Thank you for your leadership and service 
to the community.
