                        Thursday, April 25, 2019

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Paul Rumler for 
winning the Quad-Cities Male Champion of Change Award for his work as 
president and CEO of the Quad-Cities Chamber of Commerce.
  The Quad-Cities Athena Awards are given to one woman and one man who 
are committed to gender diversity and empowering women in leadership. 
Under Mr. Rumler's leadership, 13 women have been hired or promoted 
within the Quad-Cities Chamber of Commerce, which was one of his top 
goals in the role. These efforts to make the organization more 
inclusive and, as a whole, more representative of our community. Mr. 
Rumler is dedicated to his work in the Quad-Cities region and is an 
asset to the community where he has fought for women's aspirations and 
goals. I commend Mr. Rumler for his work and look forward to seeing his 
future accomplishments.
  It is because of dedicated leaders such as Paul Rumler that I am 
especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to again formally congratulate Paul Rumler for 
winning the Quad-Cities Male Champion of Change Award and thank him for 
empowering women in our community.
