  Mr. TROTT. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to congratulate City Clerk 
Terri Kowal of Auburn Hills, Michigan, as she receives the prestigious 
Quill Award from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.
  Recognized for her outstanding contributions in her profession, Clerk 
Kowal was selected as one of only two recipients for this unparalleled 
recognition, an incredible honor

considering the thousands of municipal clerks across the United States 
and Canada. With this achievement, Kowal is proclaimed an international 
champion of her craft.
  Having dedicated her life to helping the City of Auburn Hills and her 
community, Kowal has built her career on serving others. Understanding 
the responsibility and ethics required to be a municipal clerk, she did 
not waver in taking on this important task and great responsibility in 
service of her fellow citizens.
  Receiving this award is not only a great honor for Clerk Kowal and a 
testament to her hard work, but invokes a great sense of pride for the 
city of Auburn Hills, Oakland County, and the great State of Michigan. 
Clerk Kowal should be seen as an example of the ideal public servant--
one who puts the needs of the community before her own.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations 
to Terri Kowal as she receives this extraordinary honor and is 
celebrated as a pillar of the City of Auburn Hills.
