HONORING THE CAREER OF VERN SQUIER
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Vern Squier as he celebrates his retirement as president and CEO of the Centre County Chamber of Business and Industry and the Centre County Industrial Development Corporation.
Vern's experience with chamber and economic development spans over two decades. He brought his knowledge and passion for small business to CBICC and CCIDC in 2011, where he served for a decade.
In his time with one of the largest countywide chambers of commerce in Pennsylvania, he worked diligently to move the organization forward.
Vern worked closely with Penn State University's leadership and utilized the output of graduates and staff to build job and wealth creation in the community and in our region.
While in his role as president and CEO, Vern guided CBICC and CCIDC to become the go-to organization for businesses in our community and the greater Centre County region.
I thank Vern for his service and dedication to Centre County. We wish him a fulfilling retirement. He has earned it.
