  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ron Slinger 
for receiving the 2019 Chairman's Choice Award from the Arvada Chamber 
of Commerce.
   The Chairman's Choice is selected annually by the Chairman of the 
Arvada Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors to recognize a member of 
the community who has shown leadership and outstanding support to the 
Arvada Chamber.
   For more than 10 years, Ron has been a staple of the Arvada and 
Jefferson County community. During that time, Ron served as Red Rocks 
Community College's Vice President of Institutional Advancement, 
Strategic Partnerships and Workforce Solutions as well as Associate 
Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of 
the Red Rocks Community College Foundation.
   Ron's extensive involvement, leadership and contributions in Arvada 
have resulted in a significant and long-lasting impact in the 
community. His sense of humor and kindness bring positive energy and 
perspective to any opportunity he undertakes. In addition, Ron 
positively impacted the community through active and abundant 
volunteerism, leadership and advocacy. He is a true advocate for the 
Arvada Chamber and has fully dedicated himself to the betterment of the 
community.
   Recently Ron took a new position as President of Miles Community 
College but has left a legacy in our community that will be difficult 
for anyone to fill. Congratulations to Ron on this recognition from the 
Arvada Chamber, and I extend my deepest appreciation for his 
contribution to our community.
