Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Riverside Community College District Trustee Tracey Vackar for her esteemed service to public education throughout California's 41st Congressional District. Trustee Vackar embodies steadfast commitment to Riverside Community College students, helping them realize and achieve the American Dream through education. Tracey is the immediate past president of the RCCD board and was elected by her out-of-district peers to serve on the California Community College Trustees Board, a massive indication of her leadership. With over two decades of working in the Moreno Valley Unified School District, and in my colleague Pete Aguilar's neighboring district with Fontana Unified School District, Tracey's dedication to students spans the Inland Empire. Tracey deeply understands the critical role that our community colleges play in creating workforce training opportunities to expand middle-class families' pathway toward college degrees. With her unparalleled passion for service, Tracey is an exemplary role model for Inland Empire students. She will be missed on the board, but I wish her best of luck on her next journey. ____________________
