RECOGNIZING MRS. CAROL CHANDLER
______
HON. DAVID G. VALADAO
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, October 22, 2021
Mr. VALADAO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. Carol Chandler for her contributions to the agricultural community.
Carol Chandler was called to give back to her community from an early age. After receiving degrees from the University of California at Davis and California State University at Fresno, she began teaching in the Central Valley, including at Fresno City College. She continued her passion for agriculture and community as a partner of Chandler Farms, a fourth-generation family farming operation in Selma, California.
Chandler has continued her philanthropic work throughout her life. She belongs to the La Feliz Guild of Valley Children's Hospital and received the Tapestry Award by Common Threads for her outstanding achievements in agriculture.
Chandler has earned several awards and recognitions during her career. She was named Woman of the Year by the California State Legislature in 1992 and 2002, Agriculturist of the Year by the Fresno Chamber of Commerce in 2004, and Agriculturist of the Year by the California State Fair Board of Directors in 2020.
This year, Chandler was recognized by Western Growers with the 2021 Award of Honor.
I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in congratulating Mrs. Carol Chandler on this award and recognizing her contributions to the Central Valley community.
