>> There is no place quite like the United States Capitol and the Capitol Visitor Center.
It really is a culmination of the work of Congress and so many people
to create an environment that is secure and welcoming and accommodating for all of our visitors.
It's about serving the public in a beautiful setting where history happens every single day.
It's pretty phenomenal to walk in in the morning and see that magnificent white dome.
It is awe inspiring.
[music]
I'm really proud to work with the people that I work with.
Their talents and energy and enthusiasm inspire me every day.
I'm always impressed by the poise and the knowledge that all of our staff
demonstrate as we strive to fulfill our mission.
I'm also grateful for the support from our partners within the Congressional community,
our colleagues on Capitol Hill,
and all those who have collaborated with us from other institutions
to inform, involve, and inspire our visitors.

>> The people serving the CVC are this wide variety of staff.
You have the guides, you have all of the exhibits experts, the educators,
but you also have all of the staff in the Capitol Building Jurisdiction,
the trade shops who are all supporting the building.
A lot of maintenance goes on to keep this building going and keep it in the fine shape that it's in,
so that when the visitors come in, they don't notice what's been done,
what they notice is how beautiful it looks because that's part of the experience for them.
[music]
>> Photographing in the CVC really means photographing the visitor experience,
and so I get to see firsthand the genuine enthusiasm that people have
for stepping into the Capitol Visitor Center for the first time.
That sense of awe and that sense of wonder and that sense of place,
and so, photographing the visitors in the Capitol Visitor Center in a particular place
the place is very important because that holds everything together.
It's the Capitol Visitor Center.
[music]
>> As I reflect back on the 10 years of the Capitol Visitor Center, it really goes back
to the beginning for me and the goals and objectives that the Congress
laid out for us. And then I ask myself, have we achieved those goals?
Were we successful in that endeavor?
And the resounding answer is, absolutely we did plus some.
And the Visitor Center just flat-out works.
It welcomes people and accommodates their every need at every turn and it's a great experience.
We often talk about the ripple effect, when we serve, preserve, and inspire
really, really well all of those visitors are going to go home and they're going to tell
someone else about that positive experience, so not only have we served 22 million visitors.
It's 44 or maybe even 88 million people that we've influenced by our work here.
[music]
>> Most times when people find out that I work here they say how cool that is,
"Oh my God, that must be the best, the coolest job," and I tell them it is and I say,
but this is not where I work, this is where I get to work.
I don't take this for granted at all. I look upon this as an honor to be able to represent my country
to people from all over the world.
[music]
The Capitol Visitor Center is a place where
anyone can come and learn about Congress and the legislative process and their
role in our democracy. The Capitol is not only an icon for our representative
government, but more importantly it's where it happens.
Our visitors let us know every day what an inspiring and meaningful experience
they have here. That's what defines us.
That's the Capitol Visitor Center.
