                           HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Christina Sutherland, a 
dedicated community leader who is being honored as an inductee into the 
San Mateo County Women's Hall of Fame.
  Christina Sutherland is the founding executive director of Shelter 
Network of San Mateo County, private nonprofit agency providing a 
comprehensive network of housing and social services for homeless 
families and single adults. Under her leadership, Shelter Network has 
been recognized as a State and national model of effective housing by 
the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the California Housing 
and Homeless Coalition, Architecture Magazine, and most recently by the 
Management Center of San Francisco for its professional nonprofit 
management. Since Christina Sutherland became executive director in 
1987 at the age of 25, Shelter Network has grown from one shelter with 
a staff of three, to four programs county-wide with a staff of 50 and a 
budget of $1.5 million.
  Mr. Speaker, Christina Sutherland is an outstanding citizen and I 
salute her for her commitment to our community. I ask my colleagues to 
join me in honoring her as she is inducted into the San Mateo County 
Women's Hall of Fame.
