HONORING THE LIFE OF ROSE SALGADO
______
HON. RAUL RUIZ
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, June 25, 2021
Mr. RUIZ. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life of Rose Salgado, who passed away on May 14, 2021.
Rose Salgado led a remarkable life not only as a mother, daughter, sister, and grandmother, but also as a passionate leader and champion for the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians. Her steadfast commitment to the betterment of her Tribal community was undoubtedly an inspiration to those around her. There is no doubt in my mind that her outstanding impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.
Growing up, Rose Salgado took an early interest in her rich Native American heritage. Her parents instilled in her the value of a strong work ethic that she demonstrated throughout her extraordinary career in public service.
After completing her education at University of California, Riverside, Salgado began her 27-year career with Southern California Edison. Following her retirement, Rose became deeply involved as a leader in her Tribe and served on several boards. During her 28 years on the Soboba Tribal Council, she ascended to Vice Chairwoman and spearheaded several efforts to improve the economic wellbeing and access to opportunity for the members of her Tribe.
As a prominent leader and inspiration, she was twice recognized as Woman of the Year by the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce. Salgado was also awarded ``Distinguished Woman'' in the Inland Empire Magazine and ``Woman of Distinction'' by State Senator Mike Morrell. In addition, she was honored with the ``Distinguished Citizen Award'' by the 3 Peaks District Boy Scouts of America and the
``Outstanding Community Member of the Year'' award by the Mt. San Jacinto Community College Foundation. Rose Salgado was truly an invaluable member of the community and will continue to be a role model for the young men and women who aspire to selflessly lead and abundantly serve others.
Madam Speaker, I am proud to recognize and honor the life of Rose Salgado. Her remarkable advocacy for the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians and commitment to the community at large is an example of excellence, dedication, and service that all should seek to emulate.
