  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ryan Gattermeir, who has 
recently been named President of the Missouri Association of REALTORS.

the Missouri Association of REALTORS, which is an advocacy group 
representing the interests of realtors in our state. The president 
serves on a

volunteer basis for a one year term, and is a role that is instrumental 
in the day-to-day operations and policy goals of the organization.
  Ryan has long been an influential force in the Missouri real estate 
community. Growing up as the son of a realtor, he has been immersed in 
the industry since he was young. After graduating from Westminster 
College in 1996, he went to work with his father's real estate 
business. Eight years later, he struck out on his own and was met with 
great success. In addition to his thriving real estate business, Ryan 
is on the Board of Directors for the National Association of REALTORS, 
as well as chairing five committees in the local Missouri chapter.
  Mr. Speaker, Ryan Gattermeir has built a long and successful career 
in the real estate industry, and has proven to be a capable leader 
among his peers. I'm confident that he will represent the realtors of 
Missouri to the very best of his ability and will spare no effort in 
advocating on their behalf. I urge my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Ryan on his appointment, and wish him luck over his term 
as president.
