                          HON. PATRICK MEEHAN

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 2016

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Heartline Press on 
winning SCORE's 2016 Small Business Achievement Award.
  SCORE is a national nonprofit that provides free business mentoring 
and educational workshops to entrepreneurs and small business owners 
across the country. I am grateful for the services local SCORE chapters 
provide for our region's innovative entrepreneurs. And I commend the 
Chester County Chapter on being named ``2015 Chapter of the Year,'' 
edging out over 300 other chapters around the country.
  Ryan Hartley, founder of Heartline Press, developed his passion for 
the offset lithography printing process while attending Springfield 
High School. Bob Preston, who operated the school's print shop, became 
a lifelong mentor and encouraged Hartley to start his own printing 
company in 2005.
  Hartley was working long hours and the business was barely 
profitable. So in 2012 he reached out to SCORE and was introduced to 
SCORE counselors who helped him reorganize his business to operate it 
more efficiently and effectively. Hartley also enhanced his web design 
services and developed a strong social media marketing campaign.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Mr. Hartley on his success through the 
SCORE mentorship program.
