  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to acknowledge the vast 
contributions and achievements of Carolyn Sanders-James. Carolyn is a 
native of South Carolina and has lived in New York City since 1963. She 
received her undergraduate degree from Pace University, and a master's 
degree from Long Island University.
  Carolyn's life is rich with achievement and service. A politically 
active person, she serves as the vice chair of the Democratic County 
Committee in Brooklyn. She currently works full-time as a special 
liaison for Council President Andrew Stein.
  Everywhere Ms. Sanders-James has worked she has made a vital 
contribution. As a manager at Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., she 
specialized in community reinvestment service programs. She has been 
instrumental in developing economic development packages for the 55th 
Assembly District.
  Some of her notable accomplishments include the development of a 
joint program with St. Mary's Hospital and Paul Robeson High School 
students to help crack-addicted babies. Carolyn was recently honored 
for winning State funds for the Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance 
Corps, the only black volunteer ambulance corps in the State of New 
York.
  Carolyn also has been instrumental in establishing a Meals-on-Wheels 
Program for senior citizens of Greater Bibleway Church in Brooklyn, and 
a health workers training program between Medgar Evers College and 
Pratt Institute.
  A recipient of numerous awards for civic and community service, she 
is a member of the Coalition of African-American Elected Officials, and 
the Central Mobilization Political Club.
