  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Robert Brick 
for receiving the 2022 Distinguished Service Award on behalf of 
Traverse Connect.
  Bob is a tenured real estate broker with 50 years of experience, as 
well as the owner of RE/MAX Bayshore Properties, a nationally 
recognized real estate firm in the greater Traverse City area. Since 
starting his career in 1973, Bob has continually displayed 
professionalism and a desire to help his local community through his 
business.
  Upon graduating from St. John's University of Minnesota, Bob began 
his time in real estate and cemented himself as one of the Nation's top 
brokers. Working with his children, Bob has facilitated positive change 
throughout the area by partnering with organizations such as Children's 
Miracle Network Hospitals and by creating his own relief fund for those 
impacted or displaced by natural disasters.
  Bob has continually strived to be the best community member he can be 
and has used his platform to extend a helping hand to his fellow 
residents. His commitment to the people of Traverse City is undeniable 
and his work will have a lasting impact on the area's most vulnerable 
residents for years to come. Traverse City, the surrounding 
communities, and all of Michigan's First District owe Bob our support 
and gratitude as he accepts this well-deserved award. His dedication to 
the betterment of others' lives highlights the character of both Bob 
and his family.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Robert Brick for his 
steadfast service to the Traverse City region. On behalf of Michigan's 
First District, I extend my gratitude to Bob and his family and wish 
them the best in their future endeavors.
