  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Julette O'Meally, 
President of Agape Development Services.
  Ms. Julette Hernandez O'Meally has been in the business of managing, 
developing and training people for more than 15 years. She has served 
in hospitality, health care and other service industries in the United 
States and the Caribbean. Her clients range from Fortune 100 companies 
to individual entrepreneurs.
  Whether on an organizational or an individual level, her work centers 
around increasing the profitability and effectiveness of her clients--
by focusing on the personal/professional development of each person, as 
well as on the development of the organization. This is done through 
consultations, workshops and individual coaching sessions. Her work 
with recent clients includes creating, developing and delivering 
comprehensive orientation programs and training initiatives in customer 
service, supervisory/management development and communication skills. 
Ms. O'Meally has held a variety of operations management positions in 
the hospitality and retail industries. This management experience adds 
a certain level of credibility and depth of knowledge to the training 
programs she develops.
  Ms. O'Meally is also the founder of the Beethoven Reading Club--a 
non-profit organization dedicated to the inspiration and development of 
children. Ms. O'Meally has recently written a book on how to raise 
self-esteem in children and their parents. She is also a co-founder of 
Agape Community Services, which offers free workshops and consultations 
to nonprofit organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and all of my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing the lifelong efforts of Julette O'Meally, and wish her 
continued success in her future endeavors.
