               IN RECOGNITION OF THE CAREER OF TOM BEEDE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 26, 2017

  Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, today I stand to recognize Mr. Tom Beede's 
illustrious and successful career as President, CFO, and CEO of 
MetroList Services, Inc. On the occasion of his retirement, I ask all 
my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Beede and his outstanding 
career at MetroList.
  Mr. Beede has served more than thirty-two years with MetroList and 
more than forty years in the MLS industry. Before his time with 
MetroList, he was an Account Manager for PRC Realty where he created 
the first MLS computer system for the Sacramento, El Dorado, and Placer 
Associations of Realtors. He was eventually hired by MetroList to help 
manage, build, and lead it as the first MLS company in the United 
States to own and operate its own MLS computer system.
  In large part due to Mr. Beede's hard work and visionary leadership, 
MetroList became an organization with a culture of unparalleled 
customer service, subscriber value, and high level data integrity. His 
success can be attributed to his ability to bring the best products and 
services to MetroList's customers, and to his commitment to forming 
regional relationships and finding new, cost-effective ways to share 
MLS data.
  Mr. Speaker, it gives me nothing but pride to stand and honor Mr. Tom 
Beede today and wish him the best of luck in retirement. I ask all of 
my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to Mr. Beede and his 
outstanding service to the Sacramento region.
