       RECOGNIZING THE DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF ELIZABETH HOLLOMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. J. LUIS CORREA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 18, 2024

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished 
career of Elizabeth Holloman, Executive Director for the Orange Chamber 
of Commerce.
  Known for an unmatched sense of humor capable of keeping team morale 
high during difficult times, Elizabeth has built a reputation as a 
resourceful, trustworthy, and kind community leader. She served our 
neighborhoods as a math teacher for 20 years before opening a jam-
making business in the city.
  Since June 2021, Elizabeth has led the Orange Chamber of Commerce as 
its Executive Director--and she will be retiring from her role after 
four years at the helm. During her tenure as the Executive Director, 
Elizabeth spearheaded many important partnerships and initiatives, 
including re-introducing the Orange Chamber of Commerce May Parade, 
partnering with the City on economic development projects, and creating 
new opportunities for businesses to engage with the community in 
meaningful ways.
  From advocating for the wellbeing of her staff to supporting 
innovation and growth with an equity mindset, Elizabeth stands out as 
an outstanding example of servant leadership. She is always looking to 
include unique voices in conversations where fresh perspectives are 
needed and never failed to set the tone for a respectful and productive 
environment in the boardroom.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Elizabeth Holloman, the 
retiring Executive Director of the Orange Chamber of Commerce, and her 
career-long contributions to the growth and prosperity of communities 
in the City of Orange and throughout Orange County.
