of florida
in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to honor Ruth Ellis-Myers, who retired after 28 years of distinguished service with Miami-Dade County government. I include in the Record the following proclamation:
Whereas, Mrs. Ellis-Myers began her career with Miami-Dade
County's former Department of Building and Zoning in 1985 as
an Enforcement Officer 1 and was soon promoted to a
supervisory position and later promoted to Administrative
Assistant with the former Developmental Impact Committee; and
Whereas, Mrs. Ellis-Myers, who had worked hard and climbed
the ladder within her department but after a merger found
herself back where she started, took it as a challenge and
ultimately worked her way back into a supervisory role within
the county's new Planning and Zoning Department; and
Whereas, Mrs. Ellis-Myers took advantage of an opportunity
of a lifetime by participating in the Miami-Dade County
Management Trainee 2003 to 2004 program and was promoted to
Assistant to the Director of the Department of Procurement
Management; and
Whereas, Mrs. Ellis-Myers started her career with the
county with a bachelor's degree in business administration
and later earned two Master's degrees in Public
Administration and Library and Information Science; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida,
commend retiring Miami-Dade County Administrator Ruth Ellis-
Myers for her dedication and commitment to her profession and
for 28 years of service to our community.
