Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Brenda Rigby Riehle for her over 31 years of service to the residents of Allegany County. Back in my district, Allegany County is holding its 178th County Fair, and keeping with tradition, the County Legislature has moved its meeting to the Fair's main stage to recognize members of the community for their good work. I am proud to join them from the Halls of Congress to recognize Allegany County Legislative Clerk Brenda Rigby Riehle for her many years of dedicated service and continued work on behalf of the good people of this community.

Ms. Riehle is an example of good public service, and for over 3 decades she has helped keep the trains running on time in Allegany County. She is well respected by her colleagues, and as a testament to her longevity and success has served through the tenure of 6 Board Chairmen to date. She has gone beyond the normal duty of her station to represent interests of Allegany County by serving as both a Delegate and Resolutions Committee Co-Chair of the Inter-County Association of Western New York for 18 years. Ms. Riehle is a current member and former President and Treasurer of the New York State Association of Clerks and County Legislative Boards. For the last 6 years, she has served on the New York State Association of Counties Standing Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs.

Active in the community, Ms. Riehle is a proud member of the Wellsville Area Professional Businesswomen: a non-profit organization that provides scholarships to local graduates and support to local county organizations. A mother to 6, and grandmother to 10, she is an active, 15-year member of the Genesis Bible Church. I am pleased to join the Allegany County Legislature and community in recognizing Brenda Rigby Riehle for her years of service and dedication to the community.
