                        Friday, August 24, 2018

  Mr. COOK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary 
contributions and impact of Steve Caloca, Director of the University of 
California, Los Angeles Lake Arrowhead Conference Center. After a 
decade of service at the center, Steve will resign his position to take 
on a new role as the Executive Director of Food Services and Events at 
Warner Brothers Entertainment.
  Since Steve joined the UCLA Conference Center in 2008, Steve has 
overseen numerous renovations, improvements, and expansions at the 
facility. He leaves behind a legacy of vision and leadership that 
resulted in the employment of hundreds of local mountain residents, and 
he was instrumental in providing higher education opportunities for 
students through alumni scholarships. Under his leadership, the 
conference center team hosted many executive level retreats, won 
numerous recognition awards from industry publications, and 
orchestrated the construction of the scenic Zen Deck. Steve delivered a 
first-class experience to conference center guests while also building 
lasting relationships within the local community.
  Steve also served as the Chairman of the Board for the Lake Arrowhead 
Chamber of Commerce and was active with the local Rotary Club. His 
dedication to our local mountain community was unparalleled. However, I 
know that he will excel in his newest pursuit. On behalf of the U.S. 
House of Representatives, I thank him for his many years of service to 
the constituents of the 8th Congressional District of California.
