                       TRIBUTE TO DANIEL J. CADY

                                 ______


                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 7, 1996

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to ask that you and 
my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives join me in paying 
tribute to Mr. Daniel J. Cady of my hometown Flint, MI.
  Mr. Cady is being honored today by his many family members and 
friends for 36 years of service to the Flint Community School District. 
Mr. Cady began his career with the Flint Community Schools in 1960, and 
has held numerous positions to include Community School director; 
coordinator instructor--Associate Community School Director Program; 
director of the Mott Program leadership training; consultant for staff 
development and leadership training; coordinator for staff development 
and leadership training; and director of Community Education Programs 
and Services; a position which he held until his retirement on January 
31, 1996.
  Mr. Cady's dedication to his profession has been much more than just 
doing a job. Over the 36 years that he has worked in the field of 
community education his leadership has been an inspiration for others 
at the local level, and also the State and national levels where he 
served as the president of both the Michigan Association of Community 
and Adult Education and the National Community Education Association. 
Additionally, he traveled throughout the United States assisting others 
as they learned the power of involving the people of their community in 
both education and Government.
  During the 1930's, Charles Stewart Mott and Frank Manley began this 
program of opening school buildings to the community, and from there 
the formation of the community education concept. Over the years there 
have been a number of different individuals who have been leaders in 
this movement; Dan Cady is one who has carried on the responsibility of 
those before him by serving as a role model for many. Mr. Cady now is 
moving on to a new challenge as the director of the National Center for 
Community Education. I know he will provide the same dedication and 
commitment to his new position as he has to all previous.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and all my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to join me in congratulating Daniel J. Cady on his 
retirement from 36 years with the Flint Community Schools and also wish 
him well in his new position as director of the National Center for 
Community Education.
