  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Larry Sheffield for his 
ongoing dedication to serving the diverse needs of Central New Jersey. 
I join with the Metropolitan Trenton African American Chamber of 
Commerce in recognizing the achievements Larry has made fighting 
prejudice as an active member of his community and a positive 
contributor to our society.
  Mr. Sheffield is the President and CEO of Universal Consulting Group, 
Inc., a management consulting firm specializing in emerging, growth and 
ethnic markets. Prior to establishing the consulting group, Mr. 
Sheffield was responsible for managing practices in the New Jersey 
office of Goodrich and Sherwood.
  Throughout his distinguished career, Larry Sheffield has been a 
tireless advocate for Central New Jersey's diverse communities. Mr. 
Sheffield is an active member in many local professional and community 
organizations. Larry's achievements have won him praise from such 
organizations as the Jaycee's, the Harlem YMCA and the Boys Club of 
America.
  Once again, I applaud the efforts of Larry Sheffield and ask my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing his steadfast commitment to 
serving our community.
