  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, today I reflect on the outstanding 
accomplishments of Ms. Jean Chamberlain, as she is honored by the Oak 
Park Business & Education Alliance of Oak Park, Michigan.

  The Oak Park Business & Education Alliance is dedicated to the 
empowerment of urban schools. Their decision to honor Jean is a 
reflection of her long-time dedication to the communities of South 
Oakland County.
  For over 40 years, Jean has been a resident of Royal Oak, Michigan. 
She began her public career after raising a family. Her valuable 
leadership has helped bring together the cities, the county government 
and local businesses of southern Oakland County.
  Since March of 1993, Jean Chamberlain has served as the first and 
only South Oakland Governmental Liaison. She previously acted as the 
Executive Manager of the Greater Royal Oak and Oak Park Chambers of 
Commerce. She continues to work with a variety of organizations 
including the Woodward Dream Cruise Board of Directors; the Eight Mile 
Boulevard Association; and the Salvation Army Advisory Council, among 
others.
  Her tireless work resulted in the Michigan Women's Commission naming 
her, in 1998, as one of the 20 most outstanding women in Michigan.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join my salute to an exceptional 
leader, Jean Chamberlain. I wish her continued success.
