  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Jefferson 
County Business Resource Center (JCBRC) for receiving the Nonprofit of 
the Year award given by The West Chamber serving Jefferson County.
  JCBRC is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the small 
business community in Jefferson County. The group partners with 
businesses to find solutions for doing business in Jeffco.
  JCBRC helps professionals from planning a start-up enterprise to an 
established business. They provide a multitude of resources and 
services to the business community, including free business counseling, 
business classes and training. Through the annual business expo, JCBRC 
brings businesses together to foster ``economic gardening'' where 
entrepreneurial activity is fostered by providing information, tools, 
and connections needed for business development and growth.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to the Jefferson County Business 
Resource Center for being honored by The West Chamber. Thank you for 
your commitment and service to the business community of Jefferson 
County, Colorado.
