                         Friday, June 12, 2015

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my constituent, 
Dr. Steven A. Loomis of Littleton, Colorado. Dr. Loomis will soon be 
elected the 93rd president of the American Optometric Association (AOA) 
during their 118th annual meeting on June 27, 2015, in Seattle, 
Washington.
  Dr. Loomis is a graduate of Pacific University College of Optometry 
and owns Mountain Vista EyeCare and Dry Eye Center in Littleton, 
Colorado. He was first elected to the American Optometric Association 
Board of Trustees in 2007, and elected President-Elect at the 117th 
Annual AOA Congress & 44th Annual AOSA Conference: Optometry's Meeting 
in June 2014. Dr. Loomis has continuously proven to be a leader in his 
profession at the local, state, and national levels. In addition to his 
duties as President-Elect, Dr. Loomis is chair of the AOA Building 
Committee and serves as a member of the AOA Agenda, Executive, and 
Personnel Committees.
  Dr. Loomis' enthusiasm for optometry and commitment to excellence in 
eye and vision care has earned him this prestigious national office. I 
take great pride representing Dr. Loomis in Colorado's Sixth 
Congressional District and I join his family, friends, and colleagues 
in congratulating him on this achievement. I am confident that he will 
have a very successful term as president of the AOA and I wish him the 
very best of luck.
