                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 17, 2024

  Mr. DUNN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
exceptional leader in the Bay County, Florida community. Mrs. Carol 
Roberts is the President and CEO of the Bay County Chamber of Commerce. 
On January 31, 2024, Carol will retire from her 46-year career with the 
Bay County Chamber of Commerce.
  In 1977, when she was just 20 years old, Carol began her career with 
the Chamber as a receptionist. Between 1977 and 2001, Carol held every 
job at the Chamber until the time she was ultimately named President 
and CEO. For the past 22 years, Carol has led the Chamber with grit, 
determination, and grace. Throughout her career, Carol has never shied 
away from being a guiding force for Bay County through difficulty and 
hardship, as well as through the wonderful days of exciting change and 
growth.
   I congratulate Carol on an exceptional career. I thank her for 
serving with her whole heart and working each day to make Bay County a 
great place to live, work, and play. I wish her only the best in her 
retirement.
