  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Ruggiero Realty 
LLC for receiving the Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce 
Small Business Award.
  Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and I am proud of 
the strong small business community in the North Country. Lana 
Ruggiero, owner of Ruggiero Realty LLC, is a Fulton County native and 
lifelong resident of Gloversville. Lana holds numerous real estate 
designations, is a notary public, and has been honored numerous times; 
including as a top producing agent and REALTOR of the year in Fulton 
County. She is very active in the community and in various business 
organizations, currently serving as a member of the Fulton-Montgomery 
County Regional Chamber of Commerce, President of the Gloversville 
Women's Alumni Club, and on the board of the Parkhurst Field 
Foundation. She previously served as treasurer of the Fulton County 
Board of REALTORS. Heading into her sixteenth year as a REALTOR, Lana 
attributes her success to her desire to serve her clients as if they 
were part of her own family.
  Lana's deep knowledge and passion for the community has led to her 
continued success. On behalf of New York's 21st District, I would like 
to congratulate Lana and the Ruggiero Realty LLC for this well-deserved 
recognition. I look forward to their future success.
