  COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN NEVADA'S 
                            10TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize the 10th 
anniversary of an important entity to Nevada, the Commercial Real 
Estate Development Association, NAIOP, of northern Nevada. I am proud 
to honor this NAIOP chapter and its contributions that make such a 
significant impact on the commercial real estate industry in northern 
Nevada.
  NAIOP commissioned a chapter in northern Nevada in October of 2006. 
Since then, NAIOP of northern Nevada has continuously assisted Nevadans 
striving to succeed in the commercial real estate business. 
Specifically, the northern Nevada chapter provides beneficial business 
and educational resources to its members, as well as a critical 
networking program that enables NAIOP members to connect with each 
other all throughout the United States.
  The northern Nevada chapter has 15 board of directors, as well as 
several different committees that consist of a chairperson and other 
NAIOP members. These committees perform specific tasks that work toward 
NAIOP's overall vision and are crucially important to the growth and 
success northern Nevadans experience firsthand.
  In light of the chapter's 10th anniversary celebration, I would like 
to recognize the individuals who will be honored for their hard work 
and dedication to the chapter, including Scott Shanks, Michael Dermody, 
Scott Beggs, Bill Miles, Brad Woodring, Marc Markwell, Brandon Page, 
Dave Howard, Doug Roberts, and Paul Kinne. Our State has truly 
benefited from these hard-working individuals, and I am thankful for 
their leadership and the great work they are doing for businesses 
throughout northern Nevada.
  Over the past decade, NAIOP of northern Nevada has demonstrated 
strong dedication to the great State of Nevada's business and real 
estate community. Without the determination and persistence of those 
who established this chapter, northern Nevada would not have seen the 
excellent growth we see today.
  I ask my colleagues and all Nevadans to join me in congratulating 
NAIOP of northern Nevada on its 10th anniversary. This institution has 
advanced Nevada's real estate industry, and I am honored to recognize 
this important milestone. I wish NAIOP of northern Nevada well in all 
of its future endeavors and in creating greater opportunities in 
Nevada.
