  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Kathy L. Seaver, who 
is being honored today for her retirement after 45 years of service to 
the Town of Farmington. She has served as tax collector since 1974 and 
became the joint town clerk and tax collector in 1979. Kathy has served 
the Town of Farmington with distinction and is revered by her peers for 
her expertise.
  Kathy L. Seaver was born and raised in Farmington, New Hampshire. She 
attended Farmington High School and what was then known as New 
Hampshire College. After graduating in 1971, she joined multiple 
generations of her family who worked for the Town of Farmington, 
including her great-grandfather, grandmother, and mother. In 1974, 
Kathy was appointed tax collector. In 1979, she was elected to the 
joint role of tax collector and town clerk. Since 1990, Kathy has also 
served as the school district clerk.
  Throughout her career, Kathy has been an incredibly important member 
of her professional community. She was the first vice president of the 
New Hampshire Tax Collectors' Association Executive Board in 1982. 
Kathy then served as president in 1983 and became director-at-large in 
1984. Since 1985, she has served as the director of public relations.
  Since 1992, Kathy has served as the chairperson of the NHTCA/NHCTCA 
Joint Certification Program. She graduated in 2000 from the State of 
New Hampshire Certified Public Managers Program and was one of the 
first two town clerk-tax collectors to do so. Kathy has also been an 
active member of the New Hampshire City & Town Clerks' Association 
Executive Board, serving in multiple roles.
  As a dedicated public servant, Kathy has been awarded a multitude of 
honors. Kathy's hard work and dedication has been recognized by several 
New Hampshire public officials. Kathy has also received awards from

many local organizations, including being named the 2018 Farmington 
Women's Club Woman of the Year.
  On behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional 
District, I want to thank Kathy for her decades of service to our 
community. I congratulate her again on her incredible career and this 
well-deserved honor, and I thank her for all that she has done to make 
our state such a wonderful place to learn, live, and grow.
