BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished career of Elizabeth Holloman, Executive Director for the Orange Chamber of Commerce.

Known for an unmatched sense of humor capable of keeping team morale high during difficult times, Elizabeth has built a reputation as a resourceful, trustworthy, and kind community leader. She served our neighborhoods as a math teacher for 20 years before opening a jam- making business in the city.

Since June 2021, Elizabeth has led the Orange Chamber of Commerce as its Executive Director--and she will be retiring from her role after four years at the helm. During her tenure as the Executive Director, Elizabeth spearheaded many important partnerships and initiatives, including re-introducing the Orange Chamber of Commerce May Parade, partnering with the City on economic development projects, and creating new opportunities for businesses to engage with the community in meaningful ways.

From advocating for the wellbeing of her staff to supporting innovation and growth with an equity mindset, Elizabeth stands out as an outstanding example of servant leadership. She is always looking to include unique voices in conversations where fresh perspectives are needed and never failed to set the tone for a respectful and productive environment in the boardroom.

I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Elizabeth Holloman, the retiring Executive Director of the Orange Chamber of Commerce, and her career-long contributions to the growth and prosperity of communities in the City of Orange and throughout Orange County.
