                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 21, 1998

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate Joyce Wolka, 
who will be awarded Secretary of the Year by the Macomb Chapter of 
Professional Secretaries International. On April 22, 1998, Ms. Wolka 
will be honored at the Secretaries Day Banquet during Professional 
Secretaries Week.
  Each year, the Macomb Chapter of Professional Secretaries 
International chooses the Secretary of the Year based on a list of 
important qualities. Candidates are judged in three areas; education, 
work experience, and involvement in PSI activities. Ms. Wolka's 
professional accomplishments and expertise led to the honor of 
Secretary of the Year.
  Ms. Wolka has worked for the past 7 years at Specs Howard School of 
Broadcast Arts in Southfield, Michigan. As an Executive Secretary in 
the Placement Department she is responsible for maintaining current 
student and graduate files and databases, correspondence to employers, 
conducting mock interviews with students, and correcting their resumes 
as part of their curriculum. She has made an important contribution to 
education and her community by performing many of the fundamental 
responsibilities that allow the schools to operate everyday.
  Throughout the years, Ms. Wolka has been a valuable member of her 
profession and her community. Not only is she an active member of the 
Macomb Chapter of Professional Secretaries International, she is also a 
Eucharist Minister at St. Kieran's Catholic Church and a Boy Scout 
Leader of Troop 343. Ms. Wolka and her husband Kevin have raised two 
sons, Dan and Mark. I would like to congratulate Ms. Wolka and wish her 
continued excellence in her work.
