“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Fred Teichert and celebrate his retirement from A Teichert & Sons, a construction company that his great-grandfather founded in 1887. In 1990, Fred led the creation of the Teichert Foundation. Through the foundation, he has greatly contributed to what Sacramento is today in his support of nonprofits in Sacramento and throughout California. Fred has been committed to making Sacramento a better place, particularly for our youth. Among his proudest achievements was serving as the founding president of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Sacramento. His participation on the Child Abuse Prevention Council and countless education committees have served as constant reminders of his dedication to helping children succeed both in and out of the classroom. For his efforts, he has earned numerous community service awards over the last 30 years, including being selected as American Leadership Forum's exemplary leader of the year and the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce's Sacramentan of the Year. Mr. Speaker, I extend my congratulations and thanks to Fred Teichert for his lifelong dedication to Sacramento. His commitment to our region will always be celebrated and remembered. I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating Fred for his work and wish him the best in his next steps. ____________________”
