Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement of Cherry Hill Township Mayor Chuck Cahn, and to honor and commend his service and dedication to the residents of the community. The Honorable Chuck Cahn has served as Cherry Hill's Mayor since January 2, 2012. During his tenure as Mayor of Cherry Hill Township, the town and residents have experienced economic success, reduced long- term debts, and renewed use of underutilized properties allowing many new businesses to join the community. Raised in the Haddontowne section of the town, Mayor Cahn is a life- long Cherry Hill Township native and growing up he attended the local public schools. After high school, the Mayor went on to earn a dual degree in Economics and Business from Rutgers College. Following graduation, he became President and CEO of his family's business, Stewart Business Systems and expanded the business from a small office equipment company into a successful technology company, employing more than 250 people in eight offices in three states. On January 2, 2012, Chuck Cahn became Mayor of Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey. During his term, Mayor Cahn fought for a fiscally responsible and transparent government. He implemented policies to help attract hundreds of new businesses to Cherry Hill and established a Business Council to serve as a forum for local business leaders to voice their ideas and solutions to local issues. Mayor Cahn also focused on preserving a family friendly, close-knit community by making a Citizens Cabinet, allowing government to be more accessible for everyone. Throughout his career, Mayor Cahn served on countless business, community service and charitable leadership boards and for his boundless dedication to serve his community, he has received many achievement awards. He and his wife, Stephanie, have been married for almost forty years and are the proud parents of three children; David (Remy), Matthew and Elizabeth. He is also the proud grandfather of Jamie and Asher. Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in honoring Mayor Chuck Cahn, of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, a dedicated public servant who, for the eight years and over the course of his life, has fought tirelessly for the prosperity of the residents of Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
